Neka Art Museum

Neka Art Museum is an art gallery in Ubud that displays traditional and contemporary Indonesian works across multiple pavilions set within a spacious property designed with Balinese architecture. The exhibition spaces are organized by different artistic movements and schools of thought.

The museum was founded in 1982 by an art collector interested in preserving Balinese artistic traditions. It started with a substantial collection of paintings and sculptures that has grown significantly since its opening.

The collection shows different painting styles that reflect how local artistic traditions developed over time. You can observe how regional art forms evolved and adapted to modern influences.

The layout is easy to navigate with multiple pavilions clearly separated from each other. Facilities on site include a bookstore and ticketing areas that make your visit straightforward and comfortable.

A dedicated hall houses an extensive collection of traditional Indonesian ceremonial weapons featuring intricate metalwork and ornamentation. These objects reveal the exceptional skill involved in their creation and their importance in local customs.
