Cartoon Museum: Kuta, Bali

At long last cartoonists are being recognised for their art and
insight into the daily happenings across the archipelago. Now,
Indonesian cartoonists finally have a place to call home after the
Indonesia Cartoon Museum was officially opened with dozens of cartoons
and cartoonists featured from around the country. gWe want the whole
world to know that Indonesian cartoonists have great drawings, which
is why we have built the museum,h senior cartoonist Pramono R
Pramoedjo said. He said a strict screening mechanism was applied to
exhibitions and only selected drawings would be accepted according to
Dicky Christanto.

gFirst of all, the drawings must be fun to look at and they must show
some kind of intellectual value, so that people can be amused and
learn at the same time,h Pramono said.

gThis is the difference between cartoon drawing and usual paintings.

gCartoon drawings offer a more intellectual side.h

Pramono has worked as a cartoonist for Sinar Harapan daily newspaper
for many years and he said as many as 600 cartoon drawings from
various cartoonists had been collected for the museumfs initial
collection.

Noted cartoonists include GM Sudarta of Kompas daily and Priyanto of
Tempo news magazine.

Bali was chosen for the museum site because of the islandfs strong
tourism trade and its international community.

gMany people from many places around the world gather on this island
so we hope news about this museum will travel fast,h he said.

Pramono and his colleagues with the Association of Indonesian
Cartoonists (Pakarti) said they have been collecting and hunting for
cartoon drawings for more than two years.

gThere are still many drawings worth collecting, such as those from
our founding fathers,h Pramono said.

gI bet people will be surprised to learn (former President) Sukarno
was actually also a cartoonist,h he said.

Established on 1989 in Yogyakarta, Central Java, the Pakarti
association is now home to some 600 cartoonists from all over the
country. Almost half its members were now working for various
publications and newspapers as newspapers and many others freelance.
Chairman of Pakarti, Jango Paramartha, said he hoped the museum would
encourage other cartoonists to organize activities related their work.

gMy vision is to have a museum that will accommodate activities
related to cartoons so the museum can serve as a home for all
cartoonists,h Jango said.

gIt is a place where they can freely express themselves through
cartoons,h he said.

He said Pakarti would ask the government to join forces in managing
the museum.

gAs it also serves as one of the nationfs assets.h

The land the museum was built on originally belonged to cartoonist and
businessman, Istio Adi, who owned a chain of cartoon apparel shops
called Jangkrik 85.

The museum building is on a 1,200-square-meter plot of land on Sunset
Road in Kuta and a number of additional facilities are expected to be
included in the museum, including as cafe, a cartoon library and an
exhibition hall.

gThese additional facilities will help the museum generate funds to
support its existence,h Jango said.
