Background
The
BI
Museum
is
located
in
the
disused
De
Javasche
Bank
building
in
the
Old
Town
of
Jakarta,
a
location
steeped
in
historical
significance.
The
Government
designated
the
site
a
cultural
heritage
building
in
accordance
with
Jakarta
Gubernatorial
Decree
No.
475
of
1993.
Preservation
of
the
building
is
consistent
with
Jakarta
government
policy
to
declare
the
Old
Town
as
an
area
of
historical
significance.
As a
pioneer
of
cultural
heritage
revitalisation
in
the
Old
Town,
Bank
Indonesia
presents
a
trove
of
knowledge
concerning
Bank
Indonesia’s
role
and
contribution
in
the
historical
journey
of
Indonesia,
while
elaborating
the
motivation
behind
Bank
Indonesia's
policies
over
time.
These
were
the
main
considerations
that
built
awareness
concerning
the
importance
of a
Bank
Indonesian
Museum.
Goals
Supporting
development
of
the
Old
Town
as a

received
cultural
heritage
status
from
the
Government,
to
be
used
as
the
Bank
Indonesia
Museum.

goals
of
establishing
and
maintaining
the
Bank
Indonesia
Building
in
Jakarta
Old
