Arma and Art Gallery and Cultural Center Ubud
The Arma Museum is an amazing place to visit. The extensive and immaculately maintained grounds and tropical gardens of 5 hectares are stunning! The palms and trees with all different types and colors of orchids cascading down them, the fragrant tropical flowers. Fountains surrounded by statues of gods,goddesses and even komodo dragons. Waterfalls with ponds and little rivers with ornate bridges to cross to see the terraced rice paddies, ponds filled with lotus flowers or waterlilies. The walls of the galleries covered in ornate carvings, the antique carved golden doors. It is a photographers dream!
Arma modern art gallery consists of two building, one modern and one ancient antique Balinese traditional style of painting. It's fascinating, the detail, the colors and depicting the Balinese way of life before the settlers and tourists. Their village day to day, dance and ceremonies. Your not supposed to take photos inside the gallery....but oops my finger kept slipping on my camera (plus I thought you would love to see a few of my favorites) The carvings, the golden doors, the statues! I ran down the battery in my camera!
Arma is also a cultural center. With workshops on carving, leaning the traditional Balinese dance and musical instruments. Batik, offerings, and cooking classes and more.
I loved visiting Arma, a delightful and enlightening way to spend the morning.
