During a recent meeting with Indonesia’s Minister of Creative Economy, Teuku Riefky Harsya, Museum Studio representatives — including Vincent Larnicol, Deputy CEO — and Javier Jimenez, Managing Partner at Lord Cultural Resources — discussed opportunities for collaboration in training, mentoring, and creative education. Indonesia is one of the few countries in the world with a Ministry of Creative Economy separate from its Ministry of Culture, underscoring its strong national commitment to the creative industries.

The discussion came at an exciting time: over the past 11 years, the creative workforce in Indonesia has grown by 89%, from 14 million people in 2013 to a provisional 26.47 million in 2024. Meanwhile, the creative economy’s contribution to GDP surged by 119%, climbing from Rp 700 trillion to about Rp 1,532 trillion, and net exports from creative industries increased by 67% to USD 25.1 billion.

These milestones highlight how the sector is becoming a major force for employment, innovation, and global reach — and how strategic partnerships like this one can help scale creative capacity across Indonesia’s cultural and design ecosystems.

The 10,000-square-meter building was designed by British firm Chapman Taylor, in collaboration with Buro Happold and Lord Cultural Resources. The architectural concept draws on Almaty’s unique identity: stone elements evoke the surrounding mountains, while metal structures reflect the city’s dynamism. Together, they create a space where art exists in a dialogue with both nature and urban life.

With Glanmore House bursting at the seams and the city having no place to properly store or display its artifacts, a study is recommending a new museum for the City of Belleville.

The study, completed this summer by Lord Cultural Resources consulting firm, says adding a second heritage museum in a high-profile location like the library to showcase the city’s various collections would create a downtown tourism and cultural hub that would attract more people to the city’s core and businesses.
