Definitely the best museum in Bali! It has an amazing collection of Balinese, Indonesian and foreign masks and puppets. Every exhibit has a professional description in English, thanks to which you can really learn a lot about various theatrical traditions. I definitely recommend it, it's worth to be visited more than once! The place itself is really nice too, so if you need a break, you can sit down and admire the nature, and there is a coffee shop with good coffee and good prices.

Fantastic hidden gem. Our guide did not know about it. Local philanthropists shares his private collection from SE Asia under 7 houses. Beautiful landscaped gardens. Best of all was the free private guide who spoke English and shared her knowledge with us. Do give a donation when visiting.
