The 2016 PNM discussed the application of digital technology in museum’s development, museum development policy, improvement of image of Indonesian museums, and public involvement in news development. Potencies and problems that occurred in Indonesian museums were also discussed in this event. In accordance with the proposed theme, this PNM became a media for discussion and information exchange about chances and challenges the museum would face in the future, so that formula and recommendations that supported the actualization of national character and personality in museums’ ecosystem could be obtained. Attaining such ecosystem needs creative, productive and innovative museum executives, moreover the museum has high competitiveness nationally and internationally. (MJ)
