The founding of Indonesia
National Gallery (GNI) was done as one of efforts carried out to establish national
culture development centre which was begun on the 1960.
While waiting for the realization
of national culture of development center program (wisma seni nasional), the
ministry of education and culture, Prof, Dr. Fuad Hasan, at the time initiated
to organize renovation of the building to perfect its function as an art
exhibition hall for department of education and culture art exhibitions and as
a center for art appreciation activities. The renovated building was dedicated
in 1987.
After intensive lobbying with the
concerned authorities from 1995, then the national gallery of Indonesia was
established on 1998 by the decision letter of the minister of development and
empowerment civil service No.34/MK.WASPAN/1998, and this decision was confirmed
by department of education and culture decision letter No. 099a/0.1998 then the
building was dedicated the operation on may, 8. 1999.
The initial structure of the
national gallery of Indonesia (department of education and culture letter No.
099a/0.1998) has been changed several times as reflecting in the document BP
BUDPAR No.kep07/BPBUDPAR, which was then brought into line of the policies of
the ministry of culture and tourism.
The final organizational shift
was due to the administrative change of the ministry culture and tourism into
the department of culture and tourism under the document km.55/OT 001/MKP/2003
and more recently, the minister of culture and tourism decision letter No.
PM.41/OT.001/MKP-2006.
The Indonesia national gallery
since 2002-2012 becomes a government institution in art with an organizational
level of Echelon III, and technical executive unit under the ministry of
education and culture based on education and culture ministry letter
no.72/2012.
