Description

The museum was built in 1931 by the architect P.J. Moojen, near the site of the former royal palace of Denpasar, which had been burnt to the ground during the Dutch intervention in Bali (1906). The palace served as a model for the museum's outer walls and courtyards.[1]

There are four main buildings inside the museum: Tabanan (displaying theatrical masks and musical instruments), Karangasem (sculptures and paintings), Buleleng (textiles), and Timur (archaeological finds).[1]

The museum is located on the east side of Taman Puputan, the central square of Denpasar.[1]
