- Abstract
The Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara (Museum MACAN) is an art museum in Jakarta, established in 2018. This study aims to determine how the Museum MACAN strategy makes the museum an actual public space in the digital era to become a Jakarta tourist destination. This research uses qualitative methods of art world theory from Hans van Maanen, relating to implementing aesthetic events, with data collection techniques through observation, literature review, and interviews. This study’s results are that the Museum MACAN has planned exhibitions on a specific theme associated with the development of the world and national art history, displaying interesting works as if visitors entered a space with a variety of stories that ended with important works as epilogues. The Museum MACAN has selectively selected artists who are known nationally and internationally as well as choosing quality works that can be understood by ordinary people. The curator also chooses visually unique works in terms of media and artistry techniques to meet the millennial generation’s needs to display them on social media, making people want to visit and observe art directly. An attractive layout changes the impression of an old museum into a modern public space.
