BICARA SENI, SAINS DAN PERANAN MUZIUM
It was an honour to be invited by the National Museum and co-hosted by the Sultan Nazrin Shah Gallery to participate as a panellist for the International Museum Day Forum held at Angsana Mall, Johor Bahru.
Dr. Dzul Afiq Zakaria, representing the University of Malaya, Faculty of Creative Arts, and serving as Chair of the ArtScience Prize Sub-Committee, I had the opportunity to discuss the relationship between museums, art, and science.
In an era increasingly shaped by technology, data, and materialistic thinking, art is often perceived as separate from science. However, the discussion explored how these two disciplines are fundamentally interconnected in helping us understand humanity, culture, nature, and society. We also reflected on the role of art in national development, the potential for integrating art and science, and the importance of museums as institutions that bridge knowledge, creativity, and public engagement.
Sincere appreciation to the organisers, fellow panellists, and everyone who attended the session. Meaningful conversations such as these remind us that the future of knowledge lies not in separating disciplines, but in bringing them together.
