This virtual museum brings the unique art of Bali to the world as well as providing Balinese communities with access to an invaluable cultural resource that might otherwise be inaccessible. The Virtual Museum is an online database of Balinese paintings which documents public and private collections held in different parts of the world.
The starting point for the site is the ancient classical art of the village of Kamasan, Klungkung in east Bali. Kamasan paintings have been documented in a number of important collections such as the Australian Museum's Forge Collection, and the collections of the American Museum of Natural History, the Leiden Ethnographic Museum, and the Tropen Museum in Amsterdam, the latter two have now merged into the Nationaal Museum van Wereldculturen.
Experiencing Balinese Culture
The government-run Bali Culture Service provides information on key events and places of cultural interest, such as the annual Balinese Cultural Festival (Pesta Kesenian Bali), held in June/July.
Major private art museums on Bali include the Museum Puri Lukisan, the Neka Art Museum, and the Agung Rai Museum of Art (ARMA) in Ubud, the Nyoman Gunarsa Museum in Klungkung, and the Museum Pasifika in Nusa Dua.
