We have previously had mention of the Neka Museum in Ubud.
I was there earlier this year and I took a lot of photos. The place is intended for a viewing experience, not a photographic experience, so it was more than a little bit difficult to get any photos that were worthy of publication, however, I did manage to get a few that I have been able to work into something resembling almost OK. Not wonderful pics, but they will make your mouth water when you imagine how good the items on display are. Here's the link:- http://kerisattosanaji.com/NEKAMUSEUMPAGE1.html |

Alan,
Wow... The pictures are not bad at all considering you took them in the museum. Impressive pieces. All contemporary like made during the last decade ? Best regards, Willem |

Yes, everything is contemporary work.
There are a very few old keris there, but nothing outstanding and I don't think any of the pics I took were photos of the old pieces, but when I look at a couple of the images I've published, they might have been. The dress is not marked as "new", or "recent", and as far as I recall no attribution to craftsmen involved in making the dress is provided, however, it is all in my judgement current era work. |

Alan,
Thank you very much for sharing these very nice pictures with us (I missed the museum during my last visit to Ubud). Now regarding the displayed pieces, I deeply appreciate the fantastic craftsmanship but frankly I find most of them too bling-bling for my taste! Jean |

Thanks Alan, i think you did a fine job under the circumstances, especially with the hilts. Ubud is on my first stop list when i finally make my why to Bali, especially since i recently met Mario Blanco who operates the Blanco Museum there and he has invited me to come. Now all i need is the cash to travel.

Hello Jean, but what you call "bling-bling" it's typical Bali work. I love this fine ivory carvings. But ok, it's a thing of personal taste. sajen |

LOL. I live in Bali so I can tell you that everything here is 'bling bling'. Try Balinese cuisine. It's a lot more 'bling bling' compared to other Indonesian foods ... and so are Balinese music, wedding dress, rituals, and many other things ... I actually pick up the taste after a while
