National Museum Jakarta

Maybe some people are more familiar with this museum with the name of the Elephant Museum at its original name. Indeed, the official name of this museum is the National Museum, but is also known as Museum Gajah because in the middle of the page before him stands a statue made of bronze elephant, a gift to the King of Thailand President Sukarno. This building is located west of Merdeka Square, exactly on Jl. West Merdeka No.12, Central Jakarta. Museum of the largest in Southeast Asia was built by a scientific institution Bataviaasch Genootschap van Wetenschappen en kunsten on 24 April 1778 and opened in 1868 by the Association of Arts and Sciences of Batavia. Here visitors can see the lives of our ancestors before they know the writing on the prehistoric era, known civilizations of other nations to become the most powerful kingdoms in Southeast Asia. Variety of objects ranging from prehistoric stone age such as artifacts, fossils, menhirs and ancient weapons are coming from all over the archipelago. Tradition there is also a collection of bronze ceramics from the Han Dynasty, Tang and Ming are still intact and referred to one of the largest ceramic collections in the world, especially the ceramic Southeast Asia, as well as objects of Hindu-Javanese culture. While there are collections of paintings in this museum consists of paintings by painters of Paris, among others; works Kandensky, Zou Wuki, Georges Braque, Polk Lee, who last exhibited in 1991 ago. The first paintings were donated by the artists of Paris in the 1950s because Indonesia wanted to create a museum of international art. The museum is never finished until now, so that the paintings were expensive and also a collection of other painters of the country is placed in state-owned National Museum. Until now the National Museum is building two additional buildings on the left and behind him. Left the building six floors plus two underground floors (basement), while the rear building of ten floors and two floors underground. Development is to increase the current space was no longer considered adequate to accommodate all the objects of the National Museum collection. Similarly phrased Suwati Kartiwa Chairman of the National Museum, the fourth week of June. Objects of the National Museum's collections now reached about 66,600 pieces, which consisted of 61,600 objects prehistory and anthropology, as well as about 5,000 archaeological objects, which come from all over the archipelago. With the construction of two new buildings, later manager of the National Museum will be free to exhibit and store collections of objects, from ancient stone sculptures to contemporary paintings. Both new building that would later create the National Museum has a room width of 68. 635 square meters, nearly ten times the size now. Most of the existing space will be used as a warehouse where a collection of objects and exhibition spaces, both permanent exhibition and the exhibition is not permanent. About 30 percent will function as a public area, such as the lobby and auditorium. Part of the second underground floor space of new buildings will be used as a parking area. Long-term plan, the museum will also be equipped with various other facilities, such as cafes and souvenir shops. Museums which are well known both at home and abroad, so that we can be sure of entering the holidays, visitors who come to visit this museum quite a lot. The schedule of visits that are available:

Making money consciously Contributing social value is the primary strategy for making money consciously, but by itself it’s still not enough. The problem with social value is that your personal values won’t perfectly align with the social consensus. I’m sure that if everyone on earth were like you, the demand for certain products and services would shift dramatically. For example, if everyone were like me, fresh fruits and vegetables would have even higher social value, while factory farming would have none whatsoever.When you attempt to provide social value without achieving congruence with your personal values, your motivation will be very weak.

Economic Note 03Sep02 Kahlil Rowter with statistical assistance by Yulia Ansari The Jakarta Stock Market: Regional Influence Regional stock indices movements are commonly used as explanation for swings in the Jakarta market. Not all the time, mind you, only when the directions are similar. Conversely when the direction differs domestic reasons are then invoked. How other market indices influence one’s own can be attributed at least to two factors.

Second, rationale for changes in one member’s affects other members through contagion. For example: if Korea’s index declines due to concerns over a slowing US economy, then a similar rationale should also affect Taiwan. From a statistical point of view, the interesting question is does movements in regional indices affect the JCI? If the answer to the first question is yes then we can ask next do the regional indi
