Difficult access through very busy traffic in Denpasar, no real parking area close to the venue, no spectacular or interesting shows, bad quality of the buildings, VERY poor sanitary facilities, and OF COURSE many hang-around locals trying to sell you lots of stuff you don't need.

While the grounds are impressive, public toilets here are not always maintained or accessible. Best visit this center when it is in full swing of the Bali Arts Festival, during which you can see some of the best performances in Bali staged here for the benefit of the local people. Good luck finding a seat, but rest assured that if... More

This is the place of local art but could be potential for international occasion as the place have indoor auditorium, outdoor theaters surrounding the places, where if an art festival held, it should be the perfect place. But, daily, as this place organized by the government typically not much we can enjoy.

Art center was the first choice for common tourists in the past if they seek for souvenirs or art items. However the presence of Souvenir Centers in various tourists hot spots put the art centre in fade. Still, it is worth to visit mostly if you are looking for something "original" and tasty, as the souvenir shops offer you the... More

We found the Bali museum really lovely to visit. It cost 5500 Rupiah each to enter, and it was very quiet and serene with lovely garden and buildings (good photos). Great collection (a little smaller than I've seen elsewhere but nice to see) of Balinese artefacts, and overview of the history of the island. Was good to learn a little... More
