AbstractThe younger generation has a huge influence and is considered to be the key agent who will popularize the museum. However, the young generation perceives museums as boring places. Museums are seen as places that tend to be rigid and are only visited if they want to do an assignment or dig up the history of something. Therefore, museums need to be able to change this perception so that the younger generation becomes more interested in visiting museums. This study aims to analyze the current generations’ perspectives on their ideal pictures of engaging museum activities and museum tour guides. Questionnaire distribution and Focus Group Discussion were conducted to collect the data. The findings suggest several engaging activities to enhance visitors’ experience and describe the ideal character of museum tour guides in the young generation’s eyes. AbstrakGenerasi muda memiliki pengaruh besar dan dianggap sebagai agen kunci yang akan mempopulerkan museum. Namun, generasi muda memandang museum sebagai tempat yang membosankan. Museum sering kali dianggap sebagai tempat yang cenderung kaku dan hanya dikunjungi jika ada tugas atau untuk menggali sejarah sesuatu.

Museums are seen as places that tend to be rigid and are only visited if they want to do an assignment or dig up the history of something. Therefore, museums need to be able to change this perception so that the younger generation becomes more interested in visiting museums. This study aims to analyze the current generations’ perspectives on their ideal pictures of engaging museum activities and museum tour guides. Questionnaire distribution and Focus Group Discussion were conducted to collect the data. The findings suggest several engaging activities to enhance visitors’ experience and describe the ideal character of museum tour guides in the young generation’s eyes.
