Hi guys! another weekend has come. Still in Jakarta, I will recommend you a place to spend your weekend enjoying art collections from local and international curator. Not like any regular museum in Indonesia, Museum MACAN (Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara) shows about 90 modern and contemporary art collections.

Located at AKR Tower, West Jakarta, this museum is currently has an inaugural exhibition under a title art turns world turns that is available from November 4^th 2017 to March 18^th 2018. You can explore various types of arts with different medium in this museum, not only painting, but also magnificent art installations.

One of the most favorite installations in this museum is The Infinity Mirrored Room curated by Yayoi Kusama. This installation combined mirror, LED, wood panels, acrylic, and water into a magnificent  artistic room. The last time I was there, I have to wait in the queue for about one and half hour to spend about 45 seconds inside the installation. But when I was inside, It was all worth it.

Beside the authentic art collections, compared to some museums in Indonesia, this museum has a good lighting system that can make every single collections stands out and also a very well set up of layout so that you can feel really convenient inside.

Museum MACAN opens Tuesday to Sunday at 10.00 am and closes at 07.00 pm. There are various prices for the entry tickets that are IDR 50.000 for adults, IDR 40.000 for students, and IDR 30.000 for kids. The tickets are also available online on their website. FYI, when you come on holiday, you have to prepare for a long queue and a crowd.

So, if you are an art enthusiast or you just want to experience something different rather than spending your weekend at a mall, you can definitely take your relatives, your kids, or your loved ones to this museum.

That’s all for this weekend gateway. Have a great weekend everyone!
