De Tjolomadoe after revitalisation as museum, 2 June 2018

After 20 years of neglect, the government has a plan to revitalize the Colomadu sugar factory into a museum, the plan has been rejected and because Mangkunegaran Palace feels that it has rights to factory assets, in the end the revitalization project will still be carried out by the government, in 2018 the Colomadu factory reopened as a museum, where the factory building became museum area, Tjolomadoe concert hall, Sarkara hall, Besali café, and retails.[1]
