Situated in the Nusa Dua complex on the south end of the island, the Pasifika Museum is the island’s newest museum but is already among the top fifty tourist attractions. Inaugurated by Moetaryanto P. and Philippe Augier in 2006, designed by famed Balinese architect Popo Danes, with its eight pavilions and eleven exhibition halls, it is a renowned cultural centre of great social and educational importance. In the entrance pavilion, a cafe area welcomes visitors, diplomats, travellers, scholars and Balinese residents, all fascinated by the more than 600 works of art, an increasingly growing collection of paintings and sculptures, created by 200 artists from 25 different nations, all of whom lived in Pacific Asia and found inspiration for their precious masterpieces. Despite having only opened relatively recently, the museum has already received numerous awards and accolades, including a WCF Award in 2013, the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism Prize of 2014 and the Sustainable Museum Prize for 2018 - 2019 (IMA). It is considered one of the best museums in Indonesia. In the halls of the Pasifika Museum, works of Indonesian artists are flanked by artists from India and Europe who lived in Indonesia and became fascinated by the customs and traditions of this remarkable population, as well as other artists from Asia and Southeast Asia from countries such as Laos, Vietnam, Polynesia, Oceania, Japan, China, Thailand and Myanmar.
When Michael White, then a young architecture student from Sydney, set sail for Bali in 1973, he was so impressed by the island that he decided never to go back. Made Wijaya, this is the name he gave himself after his conversion to Hinduism, mapped the historic buildings and tropical gardens of Bali, leaving a photographic heritage of great value.
Written by Balinese scholar Professor I Made Bandem and American art historian Bruce W. Carpenter, this stunning study of masks as an ancient art form is a richly illustrated book, with over 1000 color images by photographer Doddy Obenk.
