Here are a few in the more interesting galleries worth visiting. luxury health retreat bali equals 'Art Palace' so if you're a form of art lover, on your Bali holidays, you should spend time walking on this museum. The idea was spearheaded around 40 years ago by way of a band of artists and patrons in the Ubud Royal Palace. The idea was to develop a secular institution for art, which, consequently, would help legitimise the practice on the island. Puri Lukisan is set inside a peaceful garden encompassed by beautiful statues and serene lily ponds. As bali retreats of the paintings inside gallery are arranged in chronological order this too makes viewing them much more pleasurable. Komenka Gallery Komenka showcases art from young Indonesian artists and will be easily distinguished from Ubud's other art galleries by its strikingly simple architecture.
