The Role of the Jenang Kudus Museum in Educating Visitors About Gusjigang Culture
Keywords:
role of the jenang kudus museum, gusjigang culture, local wisdom valuesAbstract
The Gusjigang culture was introduced by Sunan Kudus, emphasizing three important aspects of life: Gus (good character), Ji (studying and reviewing), and Gang (trading or entrepreneurship). As time passed, the Gusjigang culture was no longer recognized by the community. One alternative used to preserve the Gusjigang culture is by utilizing the role of museums. The museum that introduces the values of Gusjigang is the Jenang Kudus Museum. This study aims to determine the role of the Jenang Kudus Museum in increasing visitors' understanding of the Gusjigang culture. The type of research used is field research using descriptive qualitative research methods. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews, literature studies, and observations. The sources in this study were the managers and visitors of the Jenang Kudus Museum. Data analysis was carried out in three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results showed that the Jenang Kudus Museum plays an important role in increasing visitors' understanding of Gusjigang culture. The collections in the Jenang Kudus Museum have interpretations of the meaning of Gusjigang culture. Gusjigang values are specifically introduced through the Gusjigang room, the Trilogi Ukhuwah room, the Al-Qur'an Gallery room, Asmaul Husna, and the Miniature Ka'bah, as well as the local wisdom room of the original Kudus community.
