Ullen Sentalu Museum located in Kaliurang, Yogyakarta is a Javanese Art, Culture and Nature museum. The museum’s location at the foothill of Mount Merapi, coincides with the northern part of Javanese macro-cosmology, while on the south lies Parangtritis along the Indian Ocean. The Museum is also located in the middle of the former Mataram Kingdom, marked by Borobudur temple in the west and Prambanan temples in the east.
The museum collection comprises among others the history of noble women from the royal court of Mataram Kingdom. Besides that, the museum also emphasizes living heritage programs to put actual contexts of the collection of tangible and intangible heritage.
Museum Pusaka Nias or Nias Heritage Museum is managed by the Nias Heritage Foundation that was founded in 1991. It is the oldest community museum in Indonesia. Its activities are not only focused on the preservation of Nias culture but also raising awareness about environment and stimulating local economy through sustainable tourism. Megalithic artefacts from Nias are popular in international trading and this museum is one of the efforts to keep the artefacts in Nias.
Both museums are example of private and community museums in Indonesia that survive rapid development of economic, social, and environmental challenges in Indonesia. Both speakers will share their stories of how they keep up with all challenges to stay true to their ideals and to contribute to society.
