Step by Step
The Tumurun Museum, located in the city of Surakarta (also known as Solo), is a cultural gem that combines art education, heritage and contemporary vision. Founded by Iwan Kurniawan Lukminto, the museum was born with the mission to make art accessible to the entire community, regardless of age, educational level or previous experience.
Its permanent collection offers a visual journey through iconic works by great figures of Indonesian art, alongside fresh creations by young artists who are redefining the current scene. This balance of tradition and innovation creates an environment where any visitor can learn, reflect and connect with art from a close and human perspective.
One of the highlights of Tumurun Museum is its special exhibitions, which are held twice a year and bring international artists to the scene. This not only enriches the local art scene, but also positions the museum as a cultural bridge between Indonesia and the rest of the world.
The visit is free and is meant to be enjoyed at leisure. It is also a perfect place to take children or teenagers to awaken their interest in contemporary art.
