Besides, there were three books provided in English, thus they should be proofread in English Wikisource. One of them was transcluded and can be read at Letters of a Javanese princess.

International Museum Day 2020

To commemorate International Museum Day 2020, Wikimedia Indonesia asked people on Twitter to share their stories when visiting museums in Indonesia. They required to choose one of their best memories of museum visits and tell us of why they had a memorable experience in that museum. Four best stories were chosen and awarded.
