N2 - Nowadays, the views of new museology bring changes to museum management in various countries. This concept is deemed to optimize earlier theories and can accommodate the current needs of museums and the society. In Indonesia, new museology is a relatively new theory, although it originated in the 1970s within the international museum sphere. In the past, museums focused on their collections. At the moment, however, they have shifted their orientation to the society. Information dissemination becomes a priority and is related to surrounding social climates. Something similar has also occurred in the aspects of curatorial management. Curators have had to extend focus from only the material aspect of collections to also the meaning behind them.
