Neka Art Museum, situated in the scenic town of Ubud on the Indonesian island of Bali, is a sanctuary of fine Balinese art. Founded in 1982 by Suteja Neka, a private collector and art dealer, this museum houses a vast collection that showcases the evolution of painting and sculpture in Bali. The museum's array of artwork spans traditional to contemporary pieces, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and history of the region. Surrounded by lush greenery, the museum's architecture is inspired by Balinese style, harmoniously blending with the natural environment. Visitors can explore various galleries, each dedicated to different periods and styles, such as the Lempad Pavilion dedicated to the works of I Gusti Nyoman Lempad, a Balinese artistic master. The museum also displays works by foreign artists who were inspired by Bali's beauty and culture. The serene ambiance, coupled with the inspiring art collections, make the Neka Art Museum a significant cultural attraction and a source of inspiration for artists and art lovers worldwide.
A Must Do for art lovers. Comfortable museum with well laid out and captioned examples of all schools of Balinese art. Also some great photos and krisses.
