Jakarta (VNA) – The National Museum of Indonesia has launched the exhibition "Misykat: The Light of Indonesian Islamic Civilisation" which celebrates the intersection of Islamic faith and Indonesian culture.
The exhibition aims to demonstrate the values of Islam as expressed through art and culture in Indonesia and narrates the historical journey of Islam in the archipelago.
The festival marks efforts to explore and reclaim traces of Islamic civilisation in Indonesia, which has developed and integrated into society over centuries.
In his opening speech, Indonesia's Minister of Culture Fadli Zon said that Islamic civilisation plays a crucial role in the social life of the Indonesian people. It is an indispensable part of the country's history and cultural heritage.
Zon emphasised that Indonesia is moving towards a comprehensive approach that involves local communities in efforts to preserve traditional cultural values through education, economic empowerment based on culture, and participation in research and conservation activities.
More than 400 artifacts displayed in this exhibition serve as historical evidence combining artistic and cultural aspects of Islam.
Dhifan, an educator working at the National Museum, noted that the exhibition showcases many archaeological findings indicating that Islam was introduced to Indonesia from the 7th to the 8th centuries CE. This is evidenced by artifacts discovered at🌺 the Bongal site in Central Tapanuli, North Sumatra./.
