“We’re not just repairing the building and saving collections; we are reimagining how this museum can serve the community better,” said Acting Head of IHA Ahmad Mahendra on Tuesday (17/9/2024).

The fire, which broke out on 16 September 2023, destroyed six rooms in the back of building A. S

Mahendra emphasized that this revitalization goes beyond infrastructure repairs, transforming the museum into an interactive space relevant to modern audiences. The project also benefits from international partnerships and expert consultations, ensuring a thorough restoration, according to antaranews.com.

Key upgrades include enhanced security systems and visitor facilities, making the museum safer and more engaging for future generations.
