    Agung Rai Museum

    Commonly known as ARMA, this museum houses an extensive collection of Balinese art as well as works by Walter Spies, a German artist who lived in Ubud between the two world wars. Balinese art tends to be dark and it is amazing for the textures that artists can tease out from varying shades of black and grey. My favorite pieces were a collection by an unknown artist about Arjuna's life as an ascetic, and a humorous take on the Lion Air jet that missed the runway at Bali in 2013 (there weren't any fatalities). The museum grounds were pretty. While I was there, jazz artists were rehearsing for a jazz festival. It was a little jarring to listen to jazz while viewing traditional paintings.
