- Summary
-
"This exhibition, showcasing important works from the National Collection, seeks to examine the development of the country's artistic history. It demonstrates two forms of expressions, traditional and modern art, coming together in one place, and invites viewers to consider this question: While modern art appears to have retained traditional forms, how much if any of the latter's soul is preserved? Siti Nurbaya, the title that conveys the heritage theme of the exhibit, is a girl's name borrowed from the writings of the late Ismail Zain (one of the country's greatest artists and most articulate writer) and one that is used as a metaphor for traditional ways."--Museum website.
