Many buildings housing art from different Balinese eras. Most are more modern. Also statuary and carvings. This is my favorite museum in Ubud. Allow several hours to see it all.

Good selection of classical Balinese style paintings, with good explanations, as well as more modern work. Very impressive exhibit of kerises with good interpretation.

Excellent Balinese art - very well curated in several buildings set in a superb, terraced garden. Great value including a welcome icy drink at cafe before leaving. A calming but energising place.

In the middle of almost nowhere in Ubud, Bali, is this large art gallery which shows off local (and imported) talent. A walk through in about an hour will give one a very good appreciation of the beautiful artwork from local artists. I suggest you visit numerous top quality galleries after your visit to Neka - not before.

There are a ton of different art alleries, art museums etc. in Ubud. But this is clearly the best one to get an overview of the development of paintingstyles in course of time in Bali. Also, the building and surroundings are quite nice. The museum is a bit far out of central Ubud, but I'd still recommend all Ubud visitors... More

Good collection, in hot mornings and afternoon, it is better to call a taxi to go there even you are in the center of Ubud.
