Abstract

The last thirty years has seen museums structural reform and innovations due to the development of technologies. The use of technology not only popular in modern museums abroad, but also in various exhibition space in Indonesia. Not only used as part of exhibition, some even replaced all real objects with digital and virtual objects. Past studies showed that contemporary visitors interested in a more interactive technology based-exhibition. However, by replacing real objects with digital images or other interactive technologies, how about the subject-object engagements? This study aims to analyse the engagement between local visitor with objects in a conventional exhibition space and a technology-based exhibition space through qualitative method with descriptive analysis method. The study shows visitors’ engagement emerges not only because of the objects itself but also of its surroundings; the path and signage, the lighting design, how the objects displayed and labelled will create certain engagement with its audience. Technology will also give a great help to create subject-object engagement. However, to appreciate and really engaged with the objects, audience still want to see real objects and not the digital substituted.
