Museum Rudana

Museum Rudana is an art museum in Peliatan that holds over 400 artworks across three floors, including paintings and sculptures by Indonesian artists. The building follows traditional Balinese architectural style, creating a space where art and local design work together.

The museum opened on December 26, 1995, when it was inaugurated by President Suharto during a time tied to Indonesia's independence celebrations. The founding was marked by a blessing ceremony that gave cultural significance to the institution's beginning.

The building embodies Tri Hita Karana philosophy, showing how people, nature, and spiritual elements live in harmony together. This idea is reflected in the way the space is designed and what you see in the exhibitions.

The visit works best when you take time to see all three floors and move through the rooms at a steady pace. The building's layout makes it easy to discover the artworks one after another.

The exterior walls are built from red bricks and sandstone, representing the colors of the Indonesian flag. This choice connects the building visually to the nation's identity in an immediate way.
