The National Gallery of Indonesia is a museum and an art gallery in Jakarta, Indonesia. The National Gallery of Indonesia has Existed as a cultural institution (art museums and art centers) in the field of visual arts since May 8, 1999. This institution plays an important role in expanding the Indonesian public's appreciation of works of art through an agenda for the protection, development and exploitation of the visual arts in Indonesia.[2]
History
The building
The current building was located at Koningsplein Oost No. 14, Batavia (now Jakarta). In 1817, G.C. Van Rijk built an Indische Woonhuis on this lot using materials taken from the remain of Kasteel Batavia. It was constructed in Dutch Indies colonial architecture. In 1900 the building became part of an educational complex established by Carpentier Alting Stiching(CAS) under authority of Priest Ds. Albertus Samuel Carpentier Alting (1837-1935) from the order of Van Vrijmetselaren. It was used as a female dormitory.[3]
In 1955, the government of the Republic of Indonesia forbade all activities by the colonial administration and Dutch residents. The building and the management of its educational activities were placed under the authority of the Raden Saleh Foundation, which continued the activities of CAS and remained under the auspices of the Freemasonry.[3]
Based on Decision Letter No. 5/1962, issued by the military authorities of the time, and signed by President Sukarno, Freemasonry was banned and the Raden Saleh Foundation disbanded. The School and all of its facilities and equipment were taken over by the government of the Republic of Indonesia and turned over to the Department of Education and Culture.[3]
In 1965, at the time of the attempted Communist Party uprising known as the 30 September Movement, the main building was used as the headquarters of the Youth and Student Command Unit (Komando Kesatuan Pemuda dan Pelajar Indonesia or KAPPI) that held demonstrations demanding the disbanding of The Indonesian Communist Party.[3]
Then, once the security situation has improved, the building was used by the Indonesian Army (Tentara Nasional Indonesia Angkatan Darat or TNI/AD) as Headquarters for the Jayasakti Infantry Brigade under the auspices of the Jakarta Raya V Military Command (Komando Daerah Militer V Jakarta Raya: Kodam Jaya).[3]
In 1981, based on a telegram from the Army Chief of Staff (Kepala Staf Angkatan Darat or KSAD) marked No. 51/1978/1981, and reconfirmed with Jakarta Raya V Military Command Decision Letter No. SKIP/194/1982, the core building was returned to the Department of Education and Culture. Then, based on Department of Education and Culture Secretary General Decision Letter No. 126/F/1982, dated February 28, 1982, the management of the structure was transferred to the Directorate General of Culture. This core building (Building A) has since been used as an Exhibition Building and is now the central structure of Indonesia National Gallery.[3]
Establishment of the National Gallery of Indonesia
The founding of Indonesia National Gallery was done among the efforts carried out to establish National Cultural Development Center Program (Wisma Seni Nasional/Pusat Pengembangan Kebudayaan Nasional) begun in the 1960s.[4]
While waiting for the realization of the National Cultural Development Center Program, Prof. Dr. Fuad Hasan (at the time the Minister of Education and Culture) organized the renovation of the building to perfect its function as an art exhibition as a center for Culture art exhibition and as a center for art appreciation activities. The renovated building was dedicated in 1987.[4]
After intensive lobbying with the concerned authorities from 1995, the institution known as Indonesia National Gallery took on its existing form and fuction based on previous documents. The first, issued in 1998, was the Coordinating Minister for Development and Empowerment of the Civil Service (Menko Pengawasan Pembangunan dan Pendayagunaan Aparatur Negara) Decission Letter No. 34?MK/.WASPAN/1998. This was then confirmed by Department of Education and Culture Decission Letter No. 099a/0/1998, and the building was dedicated on May 8, 1999.[4]
The initial structure of Indonesia National Gallery (Depertment of Education and Culture Decission Letter No. 099a/0/1998) has been changed several times as reflected in the document BP BUDPAR No. Kep.07/BPBUDPAR/2002, which was then brought into line with the policies of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. This final organizational shift was due to the administrative change of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in the Department of Culture and Tourism under the documents Km.55/OT.001/MPK/2003 and, more recently, Minister of Culture and Tourism Decission Letter No. PM.41/OT.002/MPK - 2006.[4]
