Description
Aaron Seeto, the director of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara (Museum Macan) talks to Art Worlds about this ambitious private initiative. Masterminded by businessman and major art collector Haryanto Adikoesoemo, Museum Macan opened in 2017 in Jakarta. It’s Adikoesoemo's collection of around 800 works, built over two decades, that forms the museum’s holdings. As the first institution of its kind in Indonesia, there's been a lot of planning around cultivating a local audience and developing the museum's educational values. Aaron spoke from Jakarta about how their exhibitions strive to make cross-cultural connections and nurture Indonesia's arts. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
