Puri Lukisan Museum, Art museum in Ubud, Indonesia
Puri Lukisan Museum displays contemporary Balinese paintings and wooden carvings across several gallery buildings set within landscaped gardens. The collections span different artistic movements and periods from Balinese art history.
Dutch painter Rudolf Bonnet founded the museum in 1953 to prevent Balinese artworks from being taken abroad. It grew into an important place for preserving and documenting local artistic expression during critical periods of change.
The artworks come from different schools of Balinese painting, each with its own style and approach. You can see how local artists have interpreted and adapted their traditions in various ways across the galleries.
The museum is open daily for visitors and easy to reach on foot, with clear paths through the garden grounds. It helps to wear comfortable shoes since the different galleries are spread across the property.
The museum holds not just paintings but works from different time periods that show how Balinese art evolved before, during, and after major historical upheaval. This collection documents artistic resilience during turbulent eras.
