"This month, I will go to Nglundo Village in Nganjuk, East Java, to inaugurate the Marsinah Museum," he said at the 2026 International Workers' Day event at the National Monument (Monas) in Jakarta on Friday.
Prabowo said the museum is part of efforts to honor workers' struggles, noting that Marsinah has been recognized as a national hero.
He also reaffirmed the government's commitment to improving workers' welfare.
East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa said the museum will serve as a space for younger generations to learn about Marsinah's courage and struggle.
National Police Chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo said the museum will display Marsinah's personal belongings, including letters, notes, and other documents.
Marsinah, born in Nganjuk in 1969, was a labor activist known for advocating workers' rights. She was abducted and killed in 1993.
