Bali Museums
(Bali, Indonesia, ID)



Bali contains a number of very impressive museums, which are especially plentiful around both Denpasar and Ubud. Within the city of Denpasar, the Bali Museum is something of a gem and houses many traditional Indonesian treasures and artefacts, including ceremonial costumes and religious relics from the past.

Also in Denpasar is the Museum Semarajaya, which has become known throughout Bali for its archaeological object and traditional furniture. Close by in the Museum Rudana, which is conveniently located on the road that actually leads into Denpasar.
