The owner and founder, Agung Rai:
After I saw the collections of The Puri Lukisan Museum and The Neka Museum I knew that my future was determined. I was fortunate in buying and selling paintings and starting to collect. That must have been around 1980. I trained myself in seeking paintings that moved me, paintings I really connected to and that reflected the depth and sensitivity of the artist’s soul. I always felt a spiritual connection to the art I bought.
The result of my collecting passion is now on display in the Museum that carries my name: Museum Seni Agung Rai / Agung Rai Museum of Art (ARMA) and includes works not only by leading Balinese artists like Ida Bagus Made Poleng, AA Gede Sobrat, I Gusti Nyoman Lempad, I Gusti Ketut Kodo, AA Gde Meregeg and Nyoman Meja, but by artists from all over the Indonesian archipelago. You will find renowned names as Affandi, Sudjono, Srihadi Soedarsono, Raden Saleh and many others, but also work of upcoming masters I put my faith in like Putu Wirantawan. Since the beginning of the 20th century the culture and natural beauty of Bali moved and inspired numerous foreign artists to produce great works of art. Some of them stayed for a few months, others spent their entire life on the island. The ARMA collection includes works by Rudolph Bonnet, Arie Smit, Le Majeur de Merpres, Willem Dooijewaard, Willem Hofker, Hans Snel and Donald Friend. Walter Spies was a visionary who build bridges between The Western and Balinese culture and has therefore a special place in our collection.
To guarantee and sustain its continuity, the Museum is managed by The ARMA Foundation. The funds raised by the Foundation (including your welcome contribution) are used to contribute to our efforts in treasuring, promoting and developing the Arts and Culture, not only of Bali, but of all Indonesia. For me, what has been accomplished up till now is just a beginning. My dream of continuously being able to contribute in preserving and growing the art of Bali. In particular of Ubud, is still very much alive. I am delighted that your visit to ARMA helps you to share my dream with me. May Ubud remain the artistic centre of Bali for generations to come.

Badung is a regency which includes Kuta and Nusa Dua, famous destinations in Bali. Badung regency borders Buleleng regency on the north and Tabanan regency on the west, the Indian Ocean on the south, and Bangli, Gianyar, and Denpasar on the east.
There are many interesting destinations in Badung, such as Kuta Beach, Dreamland Beach, Batubolong Beach with its exotic views, Dukuh campground which is the heritage of the Mengwi Kingdom, and much more.
Badung regency was called Nambangan before I Gusti Ngurah Made Pamecutan became king of Badung in the last 18th century. In olden times, Denpasar, now the capital of Bali, was the capital city of Badung regency, but in 1992, Denpasar became a separate municipality and the capital city of the Badung regency was moved to Mengwi.
With the enactment of government regulation no. 67 in 2009, the capital was moved to a new city in Badung regency called Mangupura which includes 4 villages and 5 areas. November 16th is the anniversary of the Badung regency, which is held to celebrate the anniversary of Mangupura city being made the capital of the Regency by former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
In Badung, there was a famous historical event knowns as the Puputan Badung War which took place on September 20, 1906. This war was triggered when a Chinese-flagged Chinese ship named Sri Komala ran aground on the Sanur coast in 1904, which was then part of Badung’s empire.
The Dutch East Indies government accused the local community of disarming and destroying the contents of the Sri Komala ship and demanded that the King of Badung be responsible for all damages by paying compensation of 3000 silver dollars and punishing those who damaged the ship. However, the King of Badung refused to pay any compensation. Because of his refusal, the Dutch East Indies government carried out a military expedition to Bali on September 20, 1906. They landed three infantry battalions and two artillery battalions to attack Badung. When the Dutch military entered the city gate, they were confronted by a crowd of people dressed in white who were ready to attack.
A war broke out between the Badung people led by the King of Badung and the Dutch East Indies military. It was called the Puputan War which means war to the point of death.

Bangli Regency is located in the northeast of the city of Denpasar, about 40 km from the center of Denpasar and is the only district in Bali that does not have a coast. Bangli Regency is bordered by Buleleng Regency in the north, Klungkung and Karangasem in the east, Klungkung and Gianyar in the south, and Badung and Gianyar in the west. One popular tourist attraction in Bangli is Mount Batur and Lake Batur. Lake Batur which is the widest lake in Bali and is in the magnificent shadow of Mount Batur. In addition, Toyo Bungkah are hot springs which are believed by the Balinese people to cure various diseases, especially skin ailments.
Since 1991, the government of Bangli Regency has set 10 May 1204 as the anniversary of Bangli. The date traced from the inscription of Pura Kehen C issued by King Sri Adikunti Ketana who ruled Bangli in 1126 years Saka or 1204 AD. Before that, in the 11th century, there was an outbreak of disease which led people in droves to leave Bangli. According to the Pura Kehen inscription, when King Sri Adikunti Ketana recovered on May 10, 1204 , he ordered his son to invite the residents to return to Bangli to jointly build and repairing each other's houses. The king also ordered the population to procreate and the forest to be cleared to make rice fields and waterways. In addition, the king abolished taxes on the population and set the boundaries of the Bangli Regency.
May 10, 1453 was then chosen as the anniversary of Bangli Regency based on the thought that the Kehen C Inscription showed that Bangli became unified on that date following the king's boundaries. This inscription was the first to mention the name Bangli. In chronicles and folklore, the origin of the name Bangli comes from the word “Jarak Bang” or “Bangkliki.” It is said that Bangli was established over distance forests, but there are also those who say that Bangli comes from the word “banggi” which means it is less friendly. +
