Museum Puri Lukisan

Hello all! On Friday Elsa and I had a lovely morning at the Museum Puri Lukisan (http://museumpurilukisan.com/). The museum was here the last time I was but has since had a major face lift - beautifully sculpted grounds and gardens and new buildings that house a wide variety of Balinese art. The majority of the works are paintings but there were some amazing wood carvings (http://museumpurilukisan.com/museum-collection/wood-carving/) and also lots of historical information about Bali -- especially the surroundings of Ubud. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside the museum but I got many of the beautiful exterior! There were some demonstrations happening while we were there: two women making wayang kulit (shadow puppets) and also a man playing a bamboo gamelan. Pics below!

Her plan? To swing on on a vine!

Beautiful Stone Sculpture surrounded by Lotus flowers and orchids.

I wonder how many years has this tree been wrapping itself around her?
