Ubud, Gianyar Regency, Bali 80571, Indonesia
Our guidebook said that if we were going to visit only one museum in Ubud, make it the Museum Puri Lukisan. It was a really fun way to spend about 90 minutes. There are 4 different buildings containing the incredible history of Balinese art. Some pieces were from the 1600s. The final building was a temporary exhibit of artwork from local artists. Each piece was for sale. We really enjoyed looking at the art - especially the wooden sculptures. The grounds are also spectacular and worth wandering through. They do not allow pictures in the galleries, so take with you only memories.
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.
for those who loves art, paintings and want to know a little bit of art history in Bali/Ubud this is the place, more then 300 paints and sculptures. Besides that beautiful gardens and resto. Must go.
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.
