The Directorate General of Culture of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) today started the groundbreaking for a museum construction project in the Muarajambi National Cultural Heritage Area (KCBN).
The inauguration was carried out in the area located in Danau Lamo Village, Maro Sebo District, Muaro Jambi Regency, Jambi. The groundbreaking ceremony this time was lively because it was carried out with the traditional Tegak Tegak Sako ceremony which was commanded by eight village heads.
The construction of this museum is part of the Muarajambi KCBN revitalization project as a center for education and strengthening the ecosystem through an intangible community economy. It is hoped that the reconstruction of Muarajambi KCBN can contribute to cultural progress and community development.
The Ministry of Education and Culture said that this historical relic is a cultural heritage that has high historical value from the Sriwijaya Kingdom from the 7th to 13th centuries AD. The Muajamambi area consists of various elements such as terracotta, stone and wood.
Director General (Dirjen) of Culture of the Ministry of Education and Culture, Hilmar Farid, stated that KCBN Muarajambi is the largest Buddhist era site in Southeast Asia with a total area of 3,981 hectares (ha). This rejuvenation project is the largest after the revitalization of Borobudur Temple in 1973.
