The museum is named 'Tumurun,' which is Javanese for 'descending,' representing the passing of values from one generation to the next.
The collection was curated by Iwan Kurniawan Lukminto, the son of the founder of the textile giant Sritex.
The building features a specialized kinetic installation by Eko Nugroho prominently in the main gallery.
It maintains a focus on private provenance, with the majority of the works held in the Lukminto family collection for decades prior to the museum's opening.
The museum layout is strictly divided into two distinct levels, with the ground floor often dedicated to massive installations and the upper floor to two-dimensional works.
Tumurun Private Museum is a family-owned modern and contemporary art space established by the Lukminto family. It features a dual-level exhibition layout housing a collection of over 100 Indonesian and international artworks. The museum showcases diverse mediums, ranging from large-scale installations to traditional canvas paintings. Notable artists represented include Eko Nugroho, Affandi, and Entang Wiharso. The facility is housed in a purpose-built architectural space designed to balance minimalist aesthetics with climate-controlled preservation. The curation focuses on the transition of Indonesian art from modern masters to contemporary expressions.
