Indonesia is a unique country with many kinds of heritages, cultures and arts. From the historical until the contemporary, we can find many museums across the country that accommodates that nation’s wealth. However, sadly, only some people who put some interest towards the museum. Therefore, regarding to this matter, recently Jakpat has conducted a survey in order to see the museum habit and preferences of Indonesians. This survey involved 3000 respondents from across Indonesia. For the further notes, Jakpat’s respondents in this survey are Indonesian smart-phone users, with a range of age from 15 to 50 year-old.
