A 'must visit' in Ubud - This museum, with its various buildings all surrounded by lush greenery, is a quiet gem in the craziness of Ubud. We got there at opening time, and wandered in peace and quiet through the numerous galleries of Balinese art. What an amazing art collection of varied mediums that Agung Rai amassed. It was lovely to sit in their open air cafe enjoying an iced tea (included in our museum ticket) and then wander the grounds watching the artists at work.

The Museum to Start your UBUD trip! - This was a surprising Museum and really the one to see first when one is in Ubud. While the building and grounds are lush, verdant and beautiful. However, the exhibits are breathtaking. It gives a deeper insight into Balinese culture and history. And the additional bonus of interacting with Agung Rai himself is a marvellous opportunity. We were impressed with Mr Agung Rai and his commitment and dedication to telling this Balinese story in such a wonderful way. Surely, a must-see when in Ubud.

A balm for the soul - Away from the moped madness of most of Bali this was a blissful hour spent in a languid art museum with a mix of old and new paintings and carvings, gardens with curiosities around every corner and a free coffee to contemplate everything at the end of it. A mere handful of respectful visitors and friendly laid back staff made this a favourite hour of my holiday.

Experience the beautiful art and sculpture of Bali - Beautiful collection of 19th-21st century Balinese art by local and western artists. Interesting history of the foundation of ARMA - collaboration between Balinese government and artists. Free lunch with ticket ! And wonderful range of additional activities. We learnt how to play the gamelan on traditional instruments with a local expert!

Balinese art & culture - A wonderfully curated museum showcasing Balinese art of varied mediums. It was nice to stroll at one’s own pace in this non-crowded venue. There’s a lovely open air cafe in which to relax enjoy the sounds and scents as well during your visit. There were also two seasoned artists onsite outdoors creating works. One was working on canvas & one with wood carving which was enjoyable to watch each at their craft.

A Nice Museum in Ubud - I enjoyed my visit to the Agung Rai Museum. By and large, the exhibits are impressive. But, what really struck my fancy were the lush grounds which encompass the museum. I spent the better part of my visit sitting outside amongst all that fine greenery.
