Indonesia Heritage Museum Malang. Many people still don’t know about this museum. Once known as Museum D’Topeng, Indonesia Heritage Museum is one of several museums in Indonesia that collects art items from various regions in Indonesia and other historical items. The name change from Museum D’Topeng to Indonesia Heritage Museum was made because the items collected began to expand beyond masks. Artifacts from Sabang to Merauke were also collected.
The collection at the Indonesia Heritage Museum ranges from thousands of masks. Traditional weapons, to antique tools which of course each item has a cool story to tell to the next generation of the nation so that they know and do not forget their culture. Not only that, there are also miniature temples that cannot be said to be small. In addition, the Indonesia Heritage Museum Malang also collects batik fingers. Batik cloth used by soldiers to be used as a tool of war during the VOC colonial era.
Indonesia Heritage Museum Malang invites tourists to learn, admire and appreciate every rich history of the archipelago. Although museums are known for collecting old items, Indonesia Heritage Museum tries to keep up with the times. One of the practices is to use AR or Augmented Reality technology.
Augmented Reality itself is a technology that relates to the real world where there is a merging of virtual objects which are two-dimensional with the real world which is three-dimensional interactively in real time. For visitors who want to try this technology, it is very easy. Simply download the Indonesia Heritage Museum Malang AR application on the App store or Play Store then scan the barcode to the image with a special logo and you can immediately enjoy the 4-dimensional display.
The building that stands on a 1000 square meter land is a new vehicle in Jatim Park 1. It is known to have more than 2000 collection objects originating from the Majapahit Age, Islamic Mataram, to objects from the 1800s. Before being in Jatim Park 1 Batu, the museum, which was formerly called D’Topeng Kingdom, was located in Bali. It was only in 2014 that it moved.
