Bali Art Museum in Denpasar

Denpasar is the capitol of Bali, and the main way of getting on and off the island by air or sea. About noon of August 24 our group drove there from Ubud by bus, and went to another good museum - the Bali Museum Denpasar - before having lunch and boarding our ship that will take us to some of the Eastern islands of Indonesia.

In contrast to the Museum Puri Lukisan in Ubud, about which I posted yesterday, the Bali Museum Denpasar mainly emphasizes sculpture - which is much more characteristic of the public art we've seen on Bali. Impressive stuff.






















A courtyard was being used for pre-wedding photography. The ornateness of the costumes is nicely complemented by that of the stone carvings.
