Supporting Cultural Heritage in Jambi

This power point documents a recent visit organized by the Jambi Arts

Council for myself and Dr. Fiona Kerlogue from the Horniman Museumin England.

We visited the Jambi National Museum and the History Museum, met

with Government of Indonesian personnel from all relevant

departments and visited the archaeological site of Mauro Jambi. The

purpose was to examine the various challenges which exist for a

cultural revival in Jambi involving museums and museum education

programs in particular as well as studying the progress of the bid for

UNESCO heritage status for the site.

We concluded that urgent local, national and international

intervention is required to stop the continuing destruction of the site

by the coal and palm oil industry.

to the museum a great example of cultural patriotism



All Indonesians visit their museums when young but rarely ever return

after high school. The challenge is to improve museum education

programs, extend them to the universities and engage the general

public.



The Modern History Museum



This museum has an extremely active and successful education

program as well as self-motivated visitors in high school and

university

Muara Jambi, Capital of Sriwijaya:

The Bid for UNESCO World Heritage Status

Muara Jambi is a site of exceptional importance for world

history in general, south east Asian Buddhist history and

Indonesian heritage specifically.

The archaeological research on the site has barely begun andpresents an extraordinary case for the revelation of a history

well known in Tibet but not in Indonesia nor in academia.

If the Government of Indonesia can protect the site, halt itsdestruction and enhance funding to its restoration and

development through the various ministries perhaps the bid

for UNESCO World Heritage Status might one day be

achieved.



The Immediate Problem:

Long Term South Bank Site Destruction by Industry
