Bali Museum

This guide to the Bali Museum in Denpasar opens on the royal court of Badung on September 14, 1906, as Dutch troops marched on the palace and the king walked out through its gate dressed for his own funeral. It follows what that mass ritual, a puputan, meant for the site and its name, and how architect P. J. Moojen chose to rebuild here a quarter century later. You'll walk the same three courtyards he modeled on the palace that once stood there.
