As children begin to explore the modern world, it is important not to let them become disconnected from understanding their own culture. Family support and guidance from teachers are necessary so that the richness of their country’s culture becomes more appealing to them.

One solution in this case is to take them to places related to the history of the archipelago, such as museums, which are home to thousands of historical artifacts that patiently await the arrival of today’s younger generation. One museum closely tied to local wisdom is the History of Sundaland Museum. As the name suggests, this museum tells the long history of “Sundaland,” or the land of Sunda. When children are interested in historical stories and the various cultures around them, it’s not difficult to invite them to visit the museum.

Introducing children to local culture in museums offers many benefits. First, children learn to adapt to the local wisdom around them. Learning about culture provides children with the foundation to interact socially with others. Additionally, by socializing local culture, parents indirectly help children develop a love for their region and nation. Furthermore, parents can introduce cultural diversity through various multicultural collections, teaching children to appreciate differences and understand the value of acceptance.

Here, parents also need to provide opportunities for children to explore various cultures by offering access to museums and involving them in outdoor learning tour activities to foster their development. Sundanese culture, for example, can be introduced as a harmonious relationship between its community members.

Therefore, expressions in Sundanese culture are shown in a controlled manner to guide children’s behavior. It’s important to understand the display and role of each emotional expression in directing children’s behavior. Moreover, during the ages of 2-6, children begin to use symbols to cognitively represent the world (their environment). The History of Sundaland Museum serves as a rich source of learning through its various collections and the cultural environment of the Land of Sunda it holds.

Various collections can serve as inspiration, providing an enjoyable experience. This is why children’s cognitive development is optimized by giving them the opportunity to explore the museum’s collections and gain information from educators.

The History of Sundaland Museum is located in the center of Karawang Regency, West Java. Visitors can learn many interesting things about Sundanese culture, especially through 17 exciting and Instagrammable zones, making it highly recommended to visit as it combines education and entertainment. Thus, not only will you gain knowledge and insights, but also get captivating Instagrammable photos and experience Augmented Reality (AR) play.
