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.

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.  +

Buwit village is located in Tabanan regency. This village has a lot of potential in the fields of tourism and agriculture, and besides that there is also a jogging track in the middle of the rice fields. The rice fields are beautiful and large, which can be used as a tourism area and an area for exercising. But unfortunately, there are problems with road access to get to that place. That's what prevents people from knowing about Buwit Village. The policies that should be made by the government to overcome these problems are as follows: 1. The government should provide assistance to build an access road to the jogging track. 2. The government should put up regulatory signs around the rice fields. 3. There is promotion in Buwit Village so that more people know about a good jogging track and more people will visit the jogging track in Buwit Village. Hopefully the government can make policies to overcome these problems to improve traditional villages in Bali.  +
Are you looking for a beautiful location to stay in a rural atmosphere? If so, come to Canggu Village, North Kuta District, Badung Regency, Bali. This is where beautiful views of rice fields and cool air meet the black volcanic sand beaches directly facing the Indian Ocean, and you don't need to compromise on food and nightlife. As for the history, the origin of the name "Canggu" comes from its connection with the Majapahit kingdom of East Java. During the Majapahit era, Canggu was the name of a port located in Muara Kalibrantas. The King of Bali, Sri Semara Kepakisan, was invited by Hayam Wuruk who ruled Majapahit. But the King of Bali sent his governor named Kyai Petandakan instead. When Kyai was about to return to Bali, he was given a keris as a talisman to defend Bali. He boarded a boat in Begawan Canggu, pulled the keris out of the scabbard and waived it into the air, but the keris automatically returned to the scabbard. The keris was given the name Begawan Canggu. After arriving in Bali, Kyai Petandakan was officially granted the keris by the King of Bali in a place near Batu Bolong Beach, which is now known as Canggu Village. Canggu village is growing with supporting facilities developing over time. Since 2000, tourism has developed and Canggu has began to attract investors. Based on 2017 data from the local village office, there are 479 accommodations including hotels, restaurants, villas, home stays, bars and other hotspots.

Gunung Agung (Mount Agung) is the highest mountain on the small Indonesian island of Bali. Although peaks rise higher on Irian Jaya, Sumatra, Lombok, and Java, Bali's status as Indonesia's most popular tourist destination makes Agung perhaps the most-climbed high peak in the country. Agung is a volcano with an enormous and very deep crater that occasionally vents out smoke and steam. The highest point is on the southwest part of the rim, a barren and rocky hill of fine volcanic rock. The summit area is above the treeline, due to the high winds and sterilizing effects of recent volcanic activity, but it is my understanding that the summit never sees any snow. Still, the weather of the surrounding rainforests of Bali is almost always cloudy, and the potentially awesome view of the entire island spread out beneath you is extrmely rare. Rinjani (12,224'/3726m) on the neighboring island of Lombok is often visble above the clouds, though. The most commonly given altitude for Agung is 3142m/10,308', but this is an old elevation that does not take into account a volcanic eruption in 1963. When I was on Bali, I calibrated my altimeter to zero at sea level, and found the summit to be 2920 m. I reset it to 3142 m, but back at sea level it read -222 m. I had nver experienced my altimter to be that far off, so was stumped until someone saw my account on the web and told me that the real elevation is 3014 m, so my altimeter was only off by 94 m, still a bit, but not as bad as I thought.  +
Gunung Batukaru, sometimes spelled Batukau, is Bali's second-highest mountain at 2,276 m. It is the highest peak in the Bedugul volcanic area, but is dormant.

Batukaru has a large crater, the largest on Bali, but this crater is open at the southern end, allowing the river Mawa to escape. It is this that gives it the name "Batukaru", which means "coconut shell" in Balinese.  +
