Enjoy The Awesome Art Collection At Setia Darma House Of Mask And Puppets.

A work of art is made with all material, concept and form considerations. For that reason, Setia Darma's House of Mask and Puppets are recommended to be visited when you are in Gianyar Regency, especially the Ubud area. Thousands of puppet collections and masks on display are not only from Bali. Collectors show off masks and puppets from all regions in Indonesia.

The museum which is praised by many visitors is located on Jalan Tegal Bingin, Banjar Tengkulak Tengah, Kemenuhan Village, Sukawati. To observe and enjoy the entire collection on display there is no need to pay a ticket or free. 


Well, Setia Darma House of Mask and Puppets also sells souvenirs in the form of masks, postcards, puppets and so on. So, prepare some amount of money to buy it. Don't be sorry if you don't buy, because the souvenir is beautiful and unique. 

When you first enter, you will be greeted with a mixed architecture between Java and Bali. Specifically, this joglo-shaped building with Balinese ornaments is quite interesting to enjoy. The museum area has an area of 1 hectare, with all facilities that can be accessed according to their respective functions. There is a small cafĂ© that provides fresh drinks and coffee, there is also a large tropical garden, amphitheater, discussion room, gallery, and so on. 

This location is quite strategic and close to other tourist attractions. For example, from Goa Gajah, you will only spend 10 minutes. From other places, for example from the Agung Rai Museum, it is also relatively close. Well, that means if you are in Gianyar or around Ubud you can easily find various kinds of tourist attractions. 

The collection of masks and puppets in this museum is neatly arranged. In fact, there are numbers in each collection on display. Not to mention the lighting of dramatic artworks. And it turns out, the material used also gives the impression of a different aura from each mask. The majority of the masks on display are made from wood. Reportedly, the mask only uses selected wood. This is special, the more detail takes into account material, concepts and forms, the more 'life' the artwork will be.
