This is probably among the better art museums in Indonesia. More importantly, it provides a narrative about the development of painting in Bali. The grounds are very beautiful, and given that most tourists won’t bother with a serious museum about art in a place such as Bali, it’s incredibly peaceful.

Worth a visit if you’re into art. 🎨 They’ve got some nice gardens and ponds outside, and four buildings showcasing works from old to modern. You can even buy paintings. Personally, I found it a bit boring — was expecting more than just art.

The museum is plain and simple, without any modern technological distractions. It's a great place to relax and take a break from Ubud's noisy atmosphere and heavy traffic. There are four separate buildings, each representing a different period in the development of Indonesian art. Definitely worth a visit. Obviously, I didn't take pictures inside the museum.

Each piece was for sale. We really enjoyed looking ...
