Abstract

Collection management is one way to make the museum a source of information and part of educational tourism. The reason for the selection of the Bank Indonesia Museum and Bank Mandiri Museum is because the type of collection about the history and objects of banking and museums that raise the theme of banking is relatively rare in Indonesia. The information media has a vital role in the success of a museum in communicating collectibles to its visitors. The difference in display information media between Bank Mandiri museum and Bank Indonesia Museum will be identified in this comparative study using comparative analysis method with the basic approach of designing museum visual communication design with some basic guidelines, namely: market share/visitor, design concept, design message, and design media. Visual communication design is a science that develops a form of visual communication language in the form of processing messages for social or commercial purposes, from individuals or groups addressed to other individuals or groups. Messages can be in the form of product information, services or ideas submitted to the target audience, to improve the understanding of collection objects contained in the museum. The purpose of this research is as a basis in decision making to produce an attractive, effective and functional display information media design in the Museum. Visual Communication Design not only gives art and fineness to objects, but also translates the soul that is relevant to the development of today’s times and technologies.
