Pameran topeng tradisional Bali & Jawa Barat

Topeng telah dikenal hampir diseluruh pelosok Tanah Air sejak jaman prasejarah. Disamping makna simbolis yang terkandung didalamnya maka dalam perkembangannya khususnya dalam dunia kesenian ia menunjukkan ciri tokoh dalam drama tradisional. Perkembangan bentuk topeng ini diiringi oleh perkembangan nilai-nilai aestetika. Berdasarkan ha! tadi maka kedua museum tersebut diatas telah memilih tema "Perkembangan topeng, Menuju kelestarian budaya". Semoga melalui pameran bersama tersebut akan lebih dapat diperkenalkan budaya antar daerah sehingga fungsi museum sebagai tempat untuk melestarikan warisan budaya dan tempat study dan rekreasi dapat sekaligus memantau perkembangan budaya dalam masyarakat
