The 5 Best History Museums in Bali, Indonesia
Bali is a living postcard, an Indonesian paradise that feels like a fantasy. Soak up the sun on a stretch of fine white sand, or commune with the tropical creatures as you dive along coral ridges or the colorful wreck of a WWII war ship. On shore, the lush jungle shelters stone temples and mischievous monkeys. The “artistic capital” of Ubud is the perfect place to see a cultural dance performance, take a batik or silver-smithing workshop, or invigorate your mind and body in a yoga class.

This national monument was built between 1998 and 2001. The architecture symbolizes the Day of Independence on 17 August 1945: there are 17 steps up to the main floor; 8 pillars in the rotunda; and the monument is 45 meters tall. The general form has been described as bell-shaped, suggesting the sound of freedom. Impressive statues and landscaping around the central monument. On an intermediate level, inside, are several series of well done, intricate, dioramas telling the history of Bali from prehistoric hunters and agriculturalists, incipient kingdoms, the invasion and occupation by Europeans, and the final independence from the Dutch empire. The day we were there, several groups of Muslim and Christian brides and grooms and their attendants were having their professional photographs taken. A joy to observe.
