Bali Museum, Denpasar (must see)

The Bali Provincial State Museum is a must-see for everybody visiting Denpasar. It was initially opened in 1910, but underwent renovation and opened again after a destructive earthquake in 1917. The plan for the new building was created by P.J. Moojen, a talented architect. The exterior of the museum was designed to imitate an Indonesian royal palace. The opening of the new Bali Provincial State Museum took place in 1931. There are several structures, each of them representing traditional styles of Balinese architecture from different eras. The interior exhibits a large collection of numerous artifacts, costumes, textiles, jewelery and other ancient objects representing the Balinese culture. Visitors are welcome daily from 8 am till 4 pm.
