Museum Encounters JAVA & BALI

The Indonesian Heritage Society proudly announces the publication of Museum Encounters JAVA & BALI, a 127-page guide to 95 of the many museums on these two islands.  

The book provides brief overviews of the collections of each museum and interesting tidbits about some of the buildings that house those collections, presented province by province.

Museum Encounters JAVA & BALI results from the collaboration of the Direktorat Museum from the Departemen Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata and the Indonesian Heritage Society. More than 30 volunteers wrote, translated, edited, took photographs and designed this guidebook, so that you can travel around Java and Bali and know exactly which museums you want to visit.
