T
he Jakarta Tourism and Culture Agency will organize the 2018 edition of Gerebek Museum, a movement that encourages people to visit museums by facilitating them.
According to Antara, the movement was directly instructed by Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan to increase the amount of museum visitors.
Tinia Budiati, the head of the Jakarta Tourism and Culture Agency, explained that one of the facilities that will be offered is transportation. Provided for free, it will take people to the museum every weekend. It is scheduled to be implemented in May.

“We will manage the visit,” Tinia said. “For example, we will provide transportation for those who live in Senen [and] want to visit Setu Babakan. So people who don’t have private vehicles still can go.”
The schedule will be shared via an app and the official website of the Jakarta government.
“During the implementation, we will involve the Jakarta Transportation Agency to prepare the routes and vehicles,” Tinia said. “We hope the movement can be beneficial for people to improve their knowledge.” (wir/wen)
