Fantastic museum, several wooden joglo houses, in a well kept and beautifal garden, which show a gorgeous collection of masks and puppets. No entry fee, donation box at the rnd. Mustvsee!

Located over 6 different buildings with English and Indonesian information, this museum holds a large number of masks and puppets which are quite impressive in number and quality. The grounds are also large and immaculate, but oddly this location is by donation only. When you visit, you will see that serious money has and will continue to be spent here so it's a mystery how they stay open. I don't really like masks and puppets, but enjoyed here. It's worth a visit if you have the time

What a hidden gem! Amazing collection of masks from all around Indonesia, Africa and Europe as well. The puppets collection is also something that tells more than stories and history too. The garden by itself is so serene and enchanted. Such a peaceful place that is so well maintained. The entrance is free of charge and at the moment of our visit we were the only guests. Highly recommend!
