Abstract: Museum MACAN (Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara) is the first private museum in Indonesia to
exhibit a collection of modern and contemporary art from home and abroad. Qualitative descriptive research
using integrated marketing communication, with the Museum Museum MACAN, supports the marketing
assistance of the MACAN Museum at subsequent exhibitions. Integrated marketing communication is
considered a tool that can help evaluate the Museum MACAN's promotion strategies that already applied in
their three exhibitions: “Art Turns World Turns,” "Yayoi Kusama: Life is the Heart of a Rainbow,” also
collaboratiob exhibition of Arahmaiani (The Past Has Not Passed) –– Lee Ming Wei (Seven Stories) –– On
Kawara (One Million Years). The application of integrated marketing communication must be applied and
improved to build brand awareness in the community and achieve Museum MACAN's vision and mission.
This research is expected to contribute to the study of integrated marketing communication, especially in the
field of museums and arts. In addition, it is expected to enrich studies of communication theory and can be
used as evidence of the theory of integrated marketing communication with the museum. Also, improving the
quality of integrated marketing communication, especially in terms of marketing exhibitions and museum
programs as a tool to increase the interest of museum visitors.
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Museum is one of the facilities for learning. Every
country in the world has a museum that is used as a
place to preserve its history, record traces of the past,
appreciate one's artwork, and so on. The museum
according to the ICOM (International Council of
Museum), is a professional cooperation body in the
field of museums established by museums from
around the world, is a permanent institution, does not
seek profits, serve the community and its
development, open to the public, gather , caring for,
and displaying material evidence of human beings
and their environment, for the purpose of research,
education and entertainment. Meanwhile,
Government Regulation No. 19 of 1995 concerning
the Maintenance and Utilization of Cultural Heritage
Objects in the Museum defines museums as
institutions, places of storage, maintenance, security
and utilization of material evidence from the results
of human culture and nature and environment to
support efforts to protect and preserve the richness of
national culture. Museums in Indonesia are divided
into state museums and private museums. State
museums are directly under the National Museum of
Education and Culture, while private and corporate
museums. The museum has five classifications,
namely: history and archeology, national museums,
natural science museums, science and technology
museums, art museums.
One example of a private art museum in Indonesia
is the MACAN Museum (Modern and Contemporary
Art in Nusantara). The museum, which was officially
opened on November 4, 2017, is the first private art
institution in Indonesia to provide public access to a
collection of modern and contemporary art. The
MACAN Museum was established with three main
objectives, namely: developing and advancing
awareness and appreciation of modern and
contemporary art in Indonesia, facilitating cultural

exchanges between Indonesia and the world,
supporting the development of human resources in
Indonesia through training for art professionals.
Departing from this statement, the museum must
work hard to hold a large-scale promotion so that the
community is aware of the presence of the Museum
MACAN and its noble mission, given the role of the
museum which is still unaware of the presence and
essence of Indonesian society. This is often seen in
museums that have already existed before, for
example the National Museum, a state museum that
receives more visits from educational institutions as a
mandatory visit, rather than being the main
destination of people traveling. Realizing this, the
marketing of museums in Indonesia should be
increasingly widespread, both at state museums and
private museums, so that they can improve
themselves to do better marketing.
The marketing of the museum itself according to
The British Institute of Marketing (Lewis, 2000: 220)
is a management process that carries out the mission
of the museum / gallery which then identifies
efficient, anticipatory, and oriented to visitor
satisfaction. The museum can be regarded as an
important cultural asset for a country, one form of
Indonesian government support for museum
marketing is the holding of 'Capacity Building
Training for Professionals Museum in Indonesia:
Development of Visitors in Museums: Policies,
Strategies and Approaches' from the Directorate of
Cultural Heritage Conservation and the museum
which was attended by 30 museums consisting of a
provincial museum, a museum under the ministry,
and a private museum. In the activity that was held on
December 4-7, 2018 in Jakarta, the participants
received training and increased insight into museum
marketing, especially in the digital era and how to
increase public appreciation of museums with
exhibition, information and public program content
related to the museum as an arena culture tour.
Museum marketing in Indonesia has entered a
digital era where all of them now use the internet,
such as the presence of corporate websites, social
media, and electronic word of mouth. The MACAN
Museum itself since its inaugural program 'First
Sight,' until the opening exhibition titled 'Art Turns
World Turns' actually practiced marketing the
museum in the digital era. Through the official
Website, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Youtube
belonging to the Museum MACAN, the museum
which has held three main exhibitions is actively
promoting existing exhibitions and programs. Seeing
the growing concern about the issue of museum
marketing and the importance of museum marketing
in Indonesia, integrated marketing communication is
deemed appropriate to be one of the tools to market
the museum. Integrated communication marketing
itself according to Larry Percy in his book "Strategic
Integrated Marketing Communications" (2008: 8) is a
plan to convey a message in order to optimize specific
communication goals that lead to desired behavior on
the part of the target audience consistently. Integrated
marketing communication can be a tool to evaluate
museum marketing that has been done by the museum
concerned.

Integrated marketing communication in the
Indonesian museum has been carried out several
times, however, studies that have discussed private art
museums have never been done before. The selection
of integrated communication marketing topics at the
MACAN Museum in this study will look at the extent
to which the six parts of integrated communications
marketing (advertising, personal sales, sales
promotion, direct marketing, and interactive
marketing) are used in marketing activities carried out
by the MACAN Museum Communication Division.
Integrated marketing communication is considered to
be a tool that can dig deeper into the evaluation of the
marketing of the MACAN Museum with qualitative
research methods. Through descriptive qualitative
methods that are supported by literature data,
discussions in this journal are expected to be able to
find out which marketing section of integrated
communication has the most contribution and
effective to be used in the marketing activities of the
MACAN Museum. So that, in the next exhibition, it
can become an entry for the Museum of MACAN in
improving itself to be better in order to market
collections and programs on target. It is expected that
information and knowledge about modern and

contemporary Indonesian art can be conveyed more
widely to various circles of society.
1.2 Museum MACAN (Modern and
Contemporary Art in Nusantara)
The museum that will be discussed in this journal is
Museum MACAN (Modern and Contemporary Art in
Nusantara). The museum located in AKR Tower
Level MM, Jalan Panjang No. 5, Kebon Jeruk, West
Jakarta 11530 has an ongoing program in the form of
exhibitions and art activities that are committed to
making art accessible to the wider public, with
education as the main milestone of its programs.
Some programs include the 'Art Turns, World Turns,'
exhibition 'Yayoi Kusama: Life is the Heart of a
Rainbow,' and three exhibitions held simultaneously:
'The Past Has Not Passed,' 'Seven Stories,' and 'One
Million Years.' The three exhibitions are public
exhibitions with a certain duration that can be enjoyed
by visitors from various circles just by paying a ticket
for Rp. 50.000,00 - Rp. 100.000,00.
'Art Turns, World Turns' is the first public
appearance of the works that have been personally
collected by Haryanto Adikoesoemo for more than 25
years. The exhibition which took place on 4th
November 2017 18th March 2018 consisted of 90
collections of 800 collections owned by the Museum
of MACAN with a composition of 50% of Indonesia's
leading works of art and 50% from outside Indonesia.
Meanwhile, ‘Yayoi Kusama: Life is the Heart of
a Rainbow’ is an exhibition of the work of a Japanese
female artist, Yayoi Kusama, who focuses on
polkadot motifs and themes as her trademark. The
exhibition, which took place on 12th May 9th
September 2018, featured more than 100 works taken
from other artists' and museums, as well as private
collections in Japan and Southeast Asia, along with
Museum MACAN's own collection of Yayoi
Kusama.
The third exhibition, which took place on 17th
November 10th March 2019, titled "The Past Has
Not Passed," "Seven Stories," and "One Million
Years" are three different exhibitions from different
individuals. 'The Past Has Not Passed' itself presents
works by Indonesian artists, Arahmaiani, which have
been known to the world since the 1980s. Meanwhile,
'Seven Stories' featured seven participatory
installations and installation works by Lee Mingwei,
a Taiwan-American artist. Finally, 'One Million
Years' is the creation of a Japanese artist, On Kawara,
which is displayed by involving two volunteers (male
and female) to read the name of the year consisting of
two parts: 'One Million Years [Past]' ( contains the
ICIB 2019 - The 2nd International Conference on Inclusive Business in the Changing World
522
name of the year in one millennium of 998031 BC)
and 'One Million Years [Future]' (containing the
name of the year in one millennium to 1001997 AD).
2 INTEGRATED MARKETING
COMMUNICATION (IMC)
According to Bartels (1968), marketing is a process
in society to satisfy its consumptive desires, which
include distribution systems of participants who
interact under technical (economic) pressure and
ethically (socially), giving rise to transactions or
transfer of ownership rights that change the market
and result in exchange and consumption. Meanwhile,
according to Kotler (1977), marketing is a set of
human activities aimed at facilitating and carrying out
exchanges. According to him, the general concept of
marketing is primarily related to how transactions are
created, encouraged, facilitated, and valued. In simple
terms, marketing activities are a process of delivering
messages by marketing a product of goods or
services. In conducting marketing, communication is
needed, which is one of the determinants of success
in this activity.
Integrated marketing communication itself according
to Philip Kotler and Gary Armstrong (2010:179)
consists of five types, namely: 1) advertising, 2)
public relations, 3) personal selling, 4) sales
promotion, 5) direct marketing. Then, along with the
development of technology, Belch (2009:18) adds
one media, namely: 6) interactive marketing (internet
marketing). The implementation of IMC is to build a
complete consumer database and build methods of
interactive communication with consumers,
understanding the needs and desires of consumers,
which ultimately based on these requirements and
behavior patterns, will be able to offer suitable
products for consumers. Then propose a unique sales
proposition to meet consumer demand, and plan
effective communication tools for interactive
communication with consumers.
Advertising defines advertising as various means
of communication that are used by marketers to
disseminate non-personal information about
products, brands, companies or outlets funded by
sponsors (Kotler, 2002:658). Advertising plays an
important role in marketing because advertising will
make a brand have brand awareness (known to the
public), strong brand association (have a good
perception of certain brands), perceived quality
(perceived by consumers to know the product is part
of a quality product), and brand loyalty (have loyal
customers). In the application, advertising media can
be divided into three types, namely print advertising
media (press advertising), electronic advertising
media, and outdoor advertising media.
Public relations according to the Institute of
Public Relations (1984) is an effort that is generally
carried out by companies to build and maintain a
positive image of the company in the eyes of
consumers, employees, shareholders, trade bodies,
suppliers, government officials, and society in
general so that later it will lead to public opinion that
is profitable for the company. Tools commonly used
in public relations in building awareness, knowledge,
opinions that build a company image in the eyes of
consumers, including:
a. Event
Companies can create events related to the
company itself, such as press conferences,
seminars, workshops, etc. to attract consumers'
attention when introducing their products.
b. Sponsorship
In helping launch new products the company can
use the method by sponsoring the event.
Companies can sponsor products, money, or
company names on an ongoing activity or
program.
c. News
Public relations has the duty to create consumer
awareness by searching for and containing
positive news about the company, products,
services, and figures in the company so that it has
a good image in the eyes of the public.
d. Product Placement
Usually companies will contribute in financing
the production of films or TV shows with
company product agreements to be used in these
films or TV shows. Product placement is a
relatively cheaper way to get consumer attention
in the mainstream media without having to pay for
air time.
e. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
CSR is a concept or action taken by a company as
a sense of corporate responsibility towards the
environment around the company, such as
conducting an activity that can improve the
Integrated Marketing Communication at Museum MACAN: Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara
523
welfare of the surrounding community and protect
the environment.
Personal selling is a sales technique that uses
personal personnel who are trained to be able to
conduct two-way communication to consumers
with the intention to influence someone to buy in
order to succeed sales and build relationships with
customers (Kotler and Armstrong, 2010:112).
Individual and personal communication in
personal selling allows sellers to tailor messages
based on the specific needs of prospective buyers.
Sales promotion is a program and special offer in
the short term that is designed to lure consumers
(mostly directly to end consumers) who are related to
make positive purchasing decisions. Basically the
purpose of doing sales promotion is to influence
consumers so that purchasing activities occur or make
consumers want to use products regularly.
Direct marketing according to Belch (2009:20) is
an act of communication carried out by the company
with a personal approach to the target consumer to
generate a response (inquiry, purchase, support) or
transaction. Now with the development of existing
technology, direct marketing types such as Location
Based Advertising (LBA) have emerged that combine
mobile advertising and location based service. The
benefits of this promotion are the right target
customers, the right target location, and on time.
However, if the SMS ad appears too often, it can
disrupt consumers and consider it spam, which can
affect the company's image in the eyes of the public.
Interactive marketing (internet marketing) in
integrated marketing communication was initiated by
the development of communication and internet
technology that has developed in such a way as to
make the internet a new communication medium that
cannot be separated from human life. Currently we
can do business from anywhere provided we have an
internet connection. This makes the marketing trend
continue to grow and develop very rapidly, which
makes conventional marketing (off line) begin to
switch to a digital marketing (on line). Some digital
marketing activities include corporate websites,
social media, online advertising, direct marketing e-
mail, and so on. In general, there are two types of
digital marketing, namely:
a. Push Digital Marketing
This type of digital marketing provides information
to consumers by actively viewing or receiving digital
advertisements. Some of the marketing strategies
included in this category are the creation of blogs,
websites, advertising on various websites, sending
promotional emails to consumer e-mails, and sending
SMS or WhatsApp products to consumer cellphone
numbers.
b. Pull Digital Marketing
In contrast to a digital marketing push, pull digital
marketing involves consumers to search, view, and
retrieve information directly through sites or search
engines about the products or services they need.
Usually, consumers search for this information
through a website, blog, or social media hashtag that
provides the information they are looking for. The
use of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) in this type
of digital marketing can indirectly help the success of
this strategy. This is because SEO allows a website
or blog from a product to be on the first page of
search results on search engines, so that it will
increase the likelihood of being seen by consumers.
The marketing described earlier is general
marketing which is usually used in the trade of goods.
Museums are service providers, have different
products with the providers of products in the form of
goods. Service products can be divided into tangible
(real or visible) and intangible (not real or invisible).
Tangible services, for example, are souvenir shops,
cafes, publishing, etc. While intangible services are
those in the form of experiences such as visits to
museums, lectures, seminars, identification services
and services to answer questions, etc. (McLean,
2000:235). Even service providers that are profit and
non-profit companies have differences. Usually,
museums are non-profit institutions because the
ownership is owned by the government / state.
A museum should have its own marketing
department to run museum marketing programs (Lord
and Lord, 2000:120). The marketing department is
located in the map of museum organizations, while
marketing management is the most important part of
the museum. Marketing management consists of:
curators, that is, people carefully about how an
exhibition is promoted and whether the public visits
it; space guards and management staff of museum
visitors, namely people who welcome visitors
through each door; development staff, namely people
who know of additional members and donations from
the public; and financial staff, namely people who see
substantial improvements on the 'bottom line' when
there are additional employees. Although it is a non-
profit organization, museum marketing management
also calculates the increase in museum staff income
and museum profits that come from every visit to the
ICIB 2019 - The 2nd International Conference on Inclusive Business in the Changing World
524
museum. In addition, marketing management also
identifies the state of the museum, determines the
potential target market of the museum, and
communicates effectively with these target markets.
Another task of museum marketing management is to
continually repair museums, not only repairs to
museum collections and buildings, but also service
products to meet the needs of visitors. That way,
visitors will feel satisfied and willing to return to visit
the museum again.
The museum marketing activities are essentially
carried out with the aim of getting responses from
visitors. Therefore, management and program staff
need to develop a more intimate relationship with
visitors, more than what can be obtained from
surveys, reports, and comment cards. It would be
difficult to create a visitor service orientation for
museums if management, curatorial educators, and
programmers do not work together, especially during
weekends or holidays. Another way of marketing the
museum is by holding an exhibition, showing that the
words on the label are easy to digest, etc.
3 METHODS
This research uses qualitative methodology with
descriptive type. The priority in descriptive
qualitative research is to explain the phenomenon
under study: what happened, why it happened, and
how it happened. And, aims to understand a social
situation, events, roles, interactions, and groups.
According to Denzim and Lincoln (Herdiansyah,
2011: 7) qualitative research is aimed more at
achieving an in-depth understanding of a particular
organization or event than describing the surface part
of a large sample taken from a population. This
research is also aimed at gaining a fundamental
understanding through the experience of researchers
who directly process and merge into an inseparable
part of the subject and background that will be
examined in the form of actual reports, what they are,
and actual field notes. Therefore, a qualitative
approach is chosen in order to be able to understand
in depth about the marketing communication strategy
by being directly involved with the research subject.
Qualitative research is a process of inquiry to
understand social problems or human problems,
based on the creation of a holistic picture formed by
words, reporting the views of informants in detail and
arranged in a scientific setting. This study uses a
qualitative method to provide a comprehensive
picture of the integrated marketing communication
used by the Museum MACAN in each exhibition and
program, by observing social media and the official
website of the MACAN Museum as the initial stage.
4 RESULT AND DISCUSSION
4.1 Integrated Marketing
Communication (IMC) at Museum
MACAN
The things done by marketing management are part
of the marketing strategy of a museum. The task of a
marketing manager is to effectively monitor the brief,
and coordinate so that all tasks are completed on
time, make sure that everything is included in the
museum budget, and improve its quality in
accordance with what has been agreed upon (Lord
and Lord, 2000:121-122). The existence of the
Communication and Marketing Division at Museum
MACAN has applied several types of integrated
marketing communications, including: public
relations, sales promotion, direct marketing, and
internet marketing.
Public relations that have been carried out by
Museum MACAN for the examples are:
1. Event for example: Night at MACAN "Ayo
Disko!" Held on December 15, 2018, MACAN
Screening "Beuys" (2017) held on December 21,
2018, MACAN Music "Workshop and Performance"
held on December 25, 2018.

2. News for example reporting on the Museum of
MACAN in various media, both in domestic print
media (Jakarta Post) and abroad (Time).
There are many ways for museums to be able to
improve their communication and services, including
sales promotion: prioritizing repetition of visitor
visits and adding museum members.
Procurement of membership facilities at Museum
MACAN opens opportunities for anyone who wants
to get special privileges in visiting. Promotions
provided can be an attractive choice, for example,
each member can buy one free ticket for members and
one ticket for a 10% discount for non members. In
February 2019, there is also a promo for buy 1 get 1
for everyone.

In addition, direct marketing carried out by
Museum MACAN is more for those who have
become members, such as e-mail and WhatsApp
messages that are always sent when Museum
MACAN is holding a promo or activity. For non
member, they can click ‘newsletter subscription’
down below the official website of Museum MACAN
and they can type down their e-mail address to get all
the promotions and information. Museum MACAN
will send it through subscriber’s e-mail.
Internet marketing is one of the most frequent and
intense marketing methods carried out by Museum
MACAN. Internet marketing carried out by Museum
MACAN includes pulling digital marketing such as
Museum MACAN's social media activities on
Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube. On
Instagram itself, the hashtag (#) Museum MACAN
often adorns the page 'tags' (#museummacan).

Marketing the museum is not only with museums
that reach visitors, but also vice versa. By renting
museum facilities for certain events, for example
weddings, auctions, office events, etc. can bring the
museum closer to potential visitors, sponsors and
donors. People will more easily remember the
moments that hit their hearts, whether it gives the
impression of good or bad, such as events carried out
by important families in the museum, wedding
receptions at the museum grounds, to children's
birthday parties in the museum. The request to hold
an event at a museum can create a new marketing
strategy, namely leasing buildings to gain other
benefits from companies, foundations, etc. Not
forgetting, presenting quality service in negotiating
rental agreements must reflect the museum's
orientation in terms of visitor services (Lord and
Lord, 2000: 126).
4.2 Evaluation of Integrated Marketing
Communication (IMC) at the
Modern Museum and
Contemporary Art in Nusantara
(MACAN)
Integrated marketing communication through
internet marketing such as corporate websites, social
media, electronic word of mouth is widely used and
most of them prove to be more effective than
advertisements in mass media. The existence of an
official website will be a source of information about
the museum and the programs it runs. A website that
is in the form of image based, so as to make it easier
for visitors to explore the website and see content that
can be accessed by them. In addition, the use of social
media can be a medium for interacting with target
visitors to engage them through conversations in
social media.
The presence of Museum MACAN also enlivened
the museum and gallery scene which exhibited a
collection of modern and contemporary art in
Indonesia, especially Jakarta. This museum is a place
that is very much awaited by the public to hunt
instagrammable1 photos. Seeing the high enthusiasm
of visitors at the exhibition 'Yayoi Kusama: Life is the
Heart of a Rainbow' assured that the Indonesian
people are still unfamiliar with the content offered by
the Museum of MACAN, because they mostly only
come to take pictures, it becomes a note that the
mission carried out by the Museum MACAN has not
yet reached the community. The third exhibition is
not as busy as the first and second exhibitions.
Arahmaiani, Lee Mingwei and On Kawara are very
different in their respective ways, seen from the
theme and form of their work. Maybe ordinary people
feel too heavy in understanding the purpose behind
these amazing works.
The process of marketing the museum is a
continuous process. Therefore, the museum
marketing manager must work with the evaluation
division, curatorial division, program division, and
visitor development and service division, museums
can benefit greatly by learning about the successes
Integrated Marketing Communication at Museum MACAN: Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara
527
and failures of other museums that have a size and
scope that same. This is called comparable analysis
which consists of in-depth interviews with staff from
equivalent institutions. In addition, analysis of a 'best
practice study' can also be carried out by identifying
examples from other institutions that have achieved
success. Then, analyze the marketing methods they
use and apply them to the museum's marketing
strategy.
Museum MACAN can use data mining also to
attract more visitors by opening suggestions about
biodata compilation of certain open tab visitors. For
example, this application can consist of a form for
visitors to fill in your personal data that contains a
website page, or a small survey form every tab is
opened on the website page, or a meeting form, and
so on. The data that enters the Museum MACAN
server will then be processed into information to hold
exhibitions or upcoming activities, distribution of
visitor segments (age, gender, same characteristics,
etc.), and much more. All of these data can be
processed properly so that it can help market the
Museum MACAN in the middle of the Y generation,
which is a generation consisting of productive
generations.

WIB.
With data mining, the MACAN Museum can
obtain valuable information that can be used to
determine the next exhibition or event, which can be
approved according to the target, so many visitors
will attend. With digital mining, visitors can be netted
more and the museum can create programs that suit
the needs of the community. Museum MACAN needs
to add programs specifically for people who have
special needs such as deaf or Alzheimer's. It serves to
serve the community, so that it is appropriate to
prioritize moral and social responsibility that every
community joint deserves the same opportunity.
Despite of the promotion, visitor services
including the price of sign-in, retail sales, retail, rental
and food services, as well as general visitor services
greatly affect the quality of the museum's attitude to
the public. These services are often run by the
administration, full or part time staff, and volunteers,
which makes the museum need a lot of people to get
involved and communicate directly with visitors,
compared to museum employees who are behind the
scenes (office).
Field staff plays a major role in maintaining
museum relationships with visitors because they are
the 'face' of a museum. Staff such as security and
information staff or ticketing (especially if you have
to pay for an entrance ticket) are the key to forming a
museum (attitude) attitude to the public because
employees at the ticket desk have the opportunity to
'sell' the museum every time a visitor asks. So, to
create a positive impression for the museum in the
middle of the community, museums should also make
employee training an important thing in the marketing
process. These staff must be seen as implementing
visitor services, not only seen as employees of
ticketing system operators. Ticketing staff also serves
to record visitor data, such as number, gender
distribution (number of men and women), etc. (Lord
and Lord, 2000:124-125). The security staff besides
functioning as security guards, they should also be
swift in responding to the needs of visitors, for
example by giving wheelchairs, doing first aid, giving
directions, and reminding visitors to leave their
belongings. Another thing that can be considered in
museum marketing is retail service. Important
services are not important in strengthening relations
between visitors and the museum has not escaped the
attention of visitors. This is because they can assess
the quality and uniqueness of museum products,
personal services carried out by shop staff and
volunteers, and the atmosphere when making
purchases at the store. Museum products brought by
visitors or purchases made at the store to be used as
gifts, including a museum card or label about the
product also help the museum because it can serve as
a memento of the visit and introduce the museum to
gifted people. Shop museums can expand their
services by: opening satellite shops on busy streets,
markets and shopping centers, placing product
trademarks at other museum shops; sell their products
through retail stores; have a national and international
sales catalog, either through mail order catalogs of the
museum itself, in collaboration with other museum
catalogs, or market catalogs (niche market catalogs);
through the museum shop's own website by opening
a shop on the internet.
In addition to museum shops, the museum can
also provide restaurant or café services to add to the
visitor experience (visitor experience) by providing
opportunities for rest and refreshments. On the other
hand, this service can also be a place to socialize and
meet friends. The food and drinks provided must be
of prime quality in order to extend the time visitors
visit in the museum, which leads to visitors wanting
to visit again.

5 CONCLUSIONS
Activities (events) at the MACAN Museum can be
used as a means to promote modern and
contemporary art more broadly for a lay audience. To
realize and maximize the role of the museum in
accordance with its ideals of becoming an educative
art institution, the MACAN museum manager has
been good at implementing existing programs. In
addition, it is necessary to improve the quality of
integrated marketing in the Museum of MACAN,
especially in terms of marketing exhibitions and
museum programs as a tool to increase the interest of
museum visitors. The MACAN Museum can
consider using digital mining in its digital marketing.
With digital mining, visitors can get more and the
museum can create programs that are in accordance
with the needs of the community. The MACAN
Museum is also felt to need to add programs
specifically for people who have special\ needs, such
as deafness or Alzheimer's. This is done to serve the
community, so that it is appropriate to prioritize moral
and social responsibility that every community joint
deserves the same opportunity. That way, the vision
and mission of Museum MACAN as a senior
institution in Indonesia in educating visitors to be able
to enjoy museums and artworks, can be carried out
and channeled appropriately. In addition, the most
important thing is that the museum is no longer only
considered a place of learning, but also entertaining
