Where to see keris in Bali?
 

She who rules decided to go on a four day trip to Bali next week. We've been there already a couple of times, but that was before I became interested in keris. Any recommendations as to where to go to look (and even possibly buy) keris? So far I only found the Neka Art Museum in Ubud.

Sorry if this topic has been covered already, but the search function didn't work for me.

Hello Gajah,

maybe go to Celuk and look for the shop from Bli Ketut Karang, he selling Bali keris and when you get a good contact with him he will show you maybe his own collection. Tell him Detlef from Germany has send you to him, this could maybe from help! ;)


Visit the Bali Museum in Denpasar, they also have a nice collection.

Detlef

Thank you very much, I'll try to do that!

There are also several galleries in Ubud who display very fine contemporary Keris as does the Bali Elephant park.
