Ubud – What to Do

ARMA: The Agung Rai Museum of Art

ARMA was created in the 1980s by the young collector Anak Agung of Peliatan. Its grand scale reflects the style in fashion during the economic boom of Seharto's late New Order. The four large galleries, connected by gardens with ornamental ponds, are the venue of both permanent and temporary exhibitions, as well as a book

Shop and a reference library.

The museum features a quality collection of classical and modern Balinese paintings, including notably the fomous Calonarang, painted by Walter Spies during his first visit to Ubud. Visit the upper floor of the northern pavilion for a fine collection of classic Balinese paintings on permanent display.

Meet the Pengosekan Community of Artists

Peinter Dewa Nyoman Batuan and his friends have been committed to Balinese Culture since the 1970s. The peculiar style known as "Fauna and Flora" evolved there at the and of the 1980s.

Applied to carved decorative items such as mirror and picture frames, the Pengosekan style had a world­wide commercial success - yet Pak Nyoman Batuan has not turned into a businessman. As an artist and philosopher, he goes on with the work of his life, painting cos­mological mandalas, and is always happy to show the galleries to visitors. Together with friends, he offers lessons in painting, woodcarving, Balinese music, and dance.
