Gustaff stated that in addition to library and archives unit, units that play a role in managing knowledge is museum and gallery. Despite its different functions, both have their role in storing of cultural treasure.
“What sets it apart from the others is that gallery only includes present or thematic product. Museum and gallery has a function to show products of civilization in an artistic way,” said Gustaff.
Relating to galleries techniques, availability of supporting space, for permanent exhibition halls, thematic exhibitions, technical, storage, and staff room and administration is needed. The necessary technical experts are expert curators, management programmers, IT supports, visual communication persons, and others.
