Museum Puri Lukisan

The museum is laid out in the traditional style, with four exhibitions across the buildings at each compass point. There is commentary in English, although it doesn't always make complete sense. However, it gives you enough of an overview of art through time and the founding of the museum.
There is also an opportunity to buy art, if you wish (expensive).
There is a cafe on site, with the set lunch included in your ticket. The lunch can be meat or vegetarian, and on the day we visited was a simple but tasty fried rice.

This museum is the oldest Art Museum in Bali,  which specializes in modern traditional Balinese paintings  and wood carvings. The museum has beautiful grounds, and art is displayed in different buildings on the museum property. There is no air conditioning in the buildings. There is a toilet at the museum. There were some interesting exhibits. I especially liked the exhibit with traditional Instruments

If you want to know the history and development of Balinese painting in the Ubud area. The Puri Lukisan Museum will give you an experience like traveling from the past to the future in the development of Ubud painting art. Please stop by and enjoy the beautiful traditional and modern painting art created by talented Balinese artists.

Great place to explore Balinese art in Ubud. The museum is close by to Ubud Palace and Saraswati temple. I booked my tickets on klook app and it was easy to redeem them at museum. There are 4 sections / rooms, each dedicated to different periods of art. Some painting have an information board that gives context about the story. The museum also has workshops for music instruments, batik, masks etc. These workshops have separate fee, not included in the entry ticket. The museum has a beautiful garden and lotus pond, nice place to spend the afternoon, away from the crowd and heat.

Lovely garden and interesting exhibition! People were friendly and also gave a free water.

Entrance is 145k, a very beautiful museum with beautiful paintings and very beautiful sculptures! The only negative point is that there are not enough descriptions of the works.
You will also have a meal included. I recommend this visit!

This museum is an amazing place to see old paintings dated as old as 1605. I managed to take picture of the oldest painting before reading that it's forbidden to take photos (no worries I didn't use flashlight). Looking at the paintings painstakingly detailed made was an awe experience for me. Most old paintings depicted Mahabharata and Ramayana scenes. Some are in good conditions, some are decaying and in bad conditions. Still, you can see the glory of the painting richness in color and details.
The 4 buildings are old some with water stains on the ceiling and spiderwebs on some windows. But the exterior of the buildings is nicely taken care of. The toilets are clean with unique doors.
I really wish the building can be renovated and those bad condition paintings can be restored. Let the present time look at these amazing paintings with wonder and not with pity.

Ternyata ada restaurantnya juga.yang mau ke museum bisa ambil paket tiket masuk museum dengan makan siang atau tea time. Tempat beli tiket ada disisi timur, atau seblah kanan baru masuk.tempat yg rekomendasi, bisa jalan kaki ke puri ubud jadi akses ke pasar seni ubud sekitar 2 menit jalan kaki, temen2 yg lagi liburan didaerah ubud terutama daerah puri ubud / pasar seni dan sekitarnya, museum puri lukisan bisa dijadikan alternatif utk mengenal lebih detail beberapa maestro lukis bali seperti Gusti Nyoman Lempad yang melegenda. Dimuseum ini ada empat bangunan, yang disisi timur namanya east building, koleksinya adalah lukisan khas gaya kamasan klungkung, trus ada bangunan sisi utara yg bnyk koleksinya Gusti Nyoman Lempad dan yang lainnya. Kemudian ada gedung bangunan sisi barat atau yang diberi nama west building, dan ada bangunan lagi disisi selatan yang kebetulan waktu kunjungan kali ini.gedung tersebut lagi dipakai pameran hasil karya Gung KK, pelukis maestro yang low profile.
Landscape di sekelilingnya jga hijau bangett.ada space buat aktivitas untuk teambuilding. The point, salah satu tempat yang rekomendasi selama liburan diubud.

Take a day off and visit the Puri Lukisam Museum, one of the oldest art museums in Bali boasting intricate traditional Balinese paintings and wood carvings. This museums is the epicentre for the birth of the modern Balinese art movement and thrives by depicting magnificent paintings all labelled in English making this museum a favourite amongst tourists.

Another factor adding charm to this museum is a stunning lush green garden sprawling across attracting people from all over to engage in leisurely walks. The museum also has a bookshop and a café making is a must-vist attraction.

A great place to see history of Tjokorda Gde Raka Sukawati and his passion to art especially in painting.stunning to see painting collection here.if you like to see painting, please come here and see some stories about Ubud and Tjokorda Gde Raka Sukawati himself.

Tranquil place near busy Ubud centre. The whole set up is close to nature, made in authentic Balinese style

If you are wandering around downtown Ubud and don’t have specific plan then you might consider this museum. The ticket is a bit expensive consider the living cost in Ubud.

The collections is mostly paintings with decent amount of wooden sculptures and contemporary art. Apart from presenting you South Asian cultures and religions. The most interesting thing is that the painting technique and media is quite different from what you see from the Louvre. And some interesting story of the relationship between Sukawati and American ambassader and president.

Plus you can gets free coffee with your museum ticket. (The quality of the coffee was not good tho).
