Abstract

The Onrust Archaeological Museum stands out as a distinctive museum designed in an open-air museum type. Specifically, it is an outdoor museum featuring life-sized architectural reconstructions primarily based on archaeological evidence. This study aims to capture the Onrust Archaeological Museum in terms of landscape, artifacts, historical records, information, and social life around the island. Documenting is done through documentary photography, which is then processed into content, complete with information descriptions and finally published through Instagram. The upload method uses the Instagram Collaborative Post feature used as digital education so its exposure can reach a wider audience such as Generation Z, Alpha, and others. The research method used is artistic research methodology, characterized by: the artistic process, artistic action, creation stage, and creation results. In addition, other qualitative data were also taken from semi-structured interviews and observations. Data was taken at the Onrust Archaeological Museum (a group of 4 islands: Onrust, Kelor, Cipir, Bidadari). As a result, the documentary photography method is carried out with the approach of rethinking “truth” in the digital age, contextualized, ethical responsibilities, new media platforms, and aiming for engagement. While the use of Instagram Collaborative Post can increase expanded reach, shared engagement, authenticity and trust, cross-promotion, and efficient content management.
