MAGELANG - The existence of Unique Gallery and Art Borobudur Indonesia (GUSBI) in Borobudur Temple Tourism Park area can extend the time of tourist visit to the largest Buddhist temple in the world.
"GUSBI became one of the alternatives for tourists during a visit to Borobudur Temple," said GUSBI leader Umar Chusaeni in Magelang.
He conveyed it after the thanksgiving placement of new building GUSBI in Building Gunadarma, previously located in ex-Restaurant Dagi complex Borobudur Temple Tour (TWCB).
In this new place GUSBI said it wanted that GUSBI could be more useful for many people, especially for education.
According to him GUSBI is actually also a museum because here stored many objects or photographs and also record breaking Muri so that the objects on display here become historical records of the Indonesian nation.
In addition to the international standard MURI record, he also collects antiques that have been rarely encountered.
"It is important to visit both domestic and foreign tourists, because there is also a collection of Dutch heritage books, then various weapons of Indonesia from Sabang to Merauke we have," he said.
However, he said because of the limitations of space and time may not have all the collection there is a description. "The hope will continue to clean up and one by one the collection will be given information," he said.
In addition to historic objects, in the development of art in Indonesia GUSBI also displays the artwork that tourists need.
When GUSBI in Bukit Dagi the number of visits reaches 300 thousand to 400 thousand per year, hopefully in this new place the number of visitors is increasing.
General Manager of Borobudur Temple Park I Putu Ngurah Sedana said he was very impressed with the way GUSBI attracted visitors by using loudspeakers, this can be emulated for officers at museums in TWCB complex.
He hopes hopefully GUSBI still flying, can help TWCB so that not all visitors go to the temple because there are other alternatives that can be visited when it comes to Borobudur.
"With the opening of this GUSBI can give a new attraction, not only see the temple and the community around here can give his works in the form of art or whatever for GUSBI progress in the future," he said.
