Jakarta (B2B) - Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan mengadakan pemilihan Duta Museum 2012 untuk membangun kembali citra museum dan mengubah paradigma masyarakat mengenai museum.
"Pemilihan duta museum ini bukan seperti pemilihan model-model lainnya," ujar Penanggung Jawab Pemilihan Duta Museum Lisa Ayodhia di Jakarta, Selasa.
Setiap provinsi, kata dia, memilih dua duta museumnya dan kemudian dua orang itu dikirim ke Jakarta untuk pematangan pengetahuan mengenai museum
"Salah satu tugas pokok dari duta museum adalah mengajak masyarakat untuk mencintai museum," katanya.
Berbagai materi pembekalan diberikan kepada 66 duta museum tersebut mulai dari pengetahuan tentang museum hingga pelajaran etika.
Wakil Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Wiendu Nuryanti mengatakan, kegiatan itu sebagai tindak lanjut program revitalisasi museum pada 2010.
"Program ini bertujuan untuk mendekatkan museum ke masyarakat," ujar Wiendu.
Selama ini, katanya, pendekatan museum dan masyarakat masih menggunakan cara-cara lama.
Namun, katanya, saat ini pola tersebut diubah menjadi partisipasi aktif.
"Tahun lalu, Duta Museum kita adalah Sigi Wimala. Hasilnya, masyarakat semakin mengenal museum," katanya.
Museum, kata Wiendu, menyimpan pengetahuan mengenai peradaban bangsa. Tapi sayangnya, sedikit masyarakat yang tertarik berkunjung ke museum.
Jakarta (B2B) - Ministry of Education and Culture organizes selection of Ambassador of Museum 2012 to rebuild the image of museum and change people’s perspective about museum.
“The selection is not like other selection of models,” said the person-in-charge of the selection, Lisa Ayodhia in Jakarta on Tuesday.
Each province, she said, selects 2 ambassadors and sends them to Jakarta to be taught about knowledge on museum.
“One of the duties of the ambassador is to invite people to love museum,” she said.
Various subjects will be taught to 66 ambassadors ranging from knowledge about museum to ethical knowledge.
Deputy Minister of Education and Culture, Wiendu Nuryanti, says that the event is a follow-up activity of museum revitalization program in 2010.
“This program aims at promoting museum to public,” says Wiendu.
For all this time, old ways of promotion are still often used to promote museum to people. Yet she says that the pattern is now changed into active participation.
“Last year, Sigi Wimala served as Ambassador of Museum. The result is that people get to know more about museum,” she says.
She adds that museum has knowledge about national civilization, but unfortunately, only few people are interested to visit it
