is expanding its contribution to the Balinese community by supporting
its artists, historians, scientists and scholars, while enriching
visitors with a deeper understanding of the island's living heritage.

sunset views, SAKA Garden on the second floor is an outdoor space with a
floating stage, making it a setting for events of up to 400 attendees. A
VIP Room is also available to book.
For the museum’s interior design, AYANA collaborated with the
multi-award-winning Napp Studio & Architects, renowned for their
work in building museum journeys that enhance visitor experience.

elevators and accessible toilets into the venue, as the team is
committed to tailoring tours based on specific needs.
The museum’s permanent collection will be unveiled next year and has
been curated by a committee of renowned researchers, collectors and
cultural experts.
