Have you heard about Jogja Archives Diorama? Yes, the Jogja Archives Diorama is a breakthrough for the museum as a space for learning the 400 years of Yogyakarta's history. How is it different from other museums? What's interesting there? Technological advances force all fields that humans do to adapt and interact to apply it, from the economic, information, transportation, and socio-cultural fields to the world of education. Jogja Archive Diorama (Diorama Arsip Jogja) responds to technological advances by presenting something unique and interesting, namely combining credible historical reviews, artistic creativity, and advanced technology in an integrated performance.

 

 

 

 

Adaptation of the world of education to technological advances is the concern of Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta, including how to perform educational content using technology. Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta enriches the student experience by making a study visit to the Jogja Archives Diorama which is located in Banguntapan area, Bantul regency, Yogyakarta Special Region (21/06/2022). This study visit helped students to learn about the history of 400-years-ago Yogyakarta. The museum performs not only narrative presentations but also ornaments telling the history of Yogyakarta with spatial design, and lighting including audiovisual designs that make visitors feel as if they were transported back to the early days of Yogyakarta's formation.

 

 

Inside the museum, there are 18 diorama rooms with historical sections that are designed with their uniqueness, such as the room telling the Mataram awakening period with visuals of past people's lives; the Sultanate period, which is shown by the Yogyakarta palace miniature and various ornaments; the Movement period, which emerged with railroad decorationsthe Independence period through narratives that evoke the spirit of struggle; the Republican period with documentation of Indonesia's developmentand the Reformation period with videos of people's movements including testimonies about Yogyakarta's resilience through the earthquake and Mount Merapi eruption. The students were enthusiastic about learning history from the museum displays and the museum guide's presentation. It took at least forty-five minutes to tour 18 rooms at the Jogja Archives Diorama.

 

 

The technological approach has proven to be an effective means of education. There is often an assumption that visiting an archive museum is boring because it contains historical archives that are ancient, complicated, and out of date. However, with the combination of creativity and advancing technology, boredom can be transformed into a fun and interesting learning process.

 

 

Ready or not, all are required to adapt to the presence of developing technology. Especially for students, must update their skills according to the rapid changes. Are you ready? ***
