About this audio guide
This guide to Museum MACAN in West Jakarta starts with one colourful canvas by the painter Hendra Gunawan and the businessman who bought it in nineteen ninety-two. It follows the money behind the museum: a family chemicals and energy firm, a buying spree in Paris, and the Asian financial crisis that tested it. Listen in the galleries, among the white walls the story keeps returning to.
