Really good place to visit if you are really interested in learning about other countries culture. Not much commercial activities, peacefully you can learn about Balinese culture

A beautiful museum in itself. It provides detailed information about Bali and its history in a small space. However, it is quite hot despite the air conditioning. In addition to the entrance fee of 100k, it happened (at least to me) that I was given a guide without being asked. He then started to guide us through the museum more badly than right. This may be helpful elsewhere, but not here! Every...

I was just here to accompany my son's excursion with his classmate. I didn't go inside to see the museum. But I looked around public areas and was very impressed to see how clean it is. Please keep up the good work!

It is a good museum but only got four stars because it's not a great museum. The big draw is the architecture of the buildings, as the displays in the four buildings are actually quite minimal. I'm glad I went and would recommend going, but it is not extensive.
