Museums for the 21st Century (M21) is a program, which brings together curators and scholars from the US and Indonesia , who specialize in the future direction of museums in three critical areas: 1. Collection exhibition and research; 2. Engagement with the family and youth; 3. Art conservation. This program consists of in-person workshops in 3 Indonesian institutions in December 2022, including Museum Tekstil Jakarta, Museum Provinsi Kalimantan Barat in Pontianak, and Museum Balanga in Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah. The in-person course modules will be followed by a series of Online Webinars that will disseminate results from the workshops and discuss further/future implementations of course outcomes and solutions to challenges faced by Indonesian museums. The M21 program is funded by the US Embassy Jakarta.
The second session of the "Museums for the 21st Century (M21)" webinar series will discuss growing trends in conservation practice (collaborative conservation / conservation and community). It will also explore pertinent challenges in conserving organic materials in hot and humid environments (tropical climate).
