Neka Museum's Kerises

Yes , I know Ganja . My first Bali visit was 18 years ago and I always try to spend a time visiting all the museum and galleries around Ubud .
I personally bought some of these paintings and you are right : culture is around every corners .
You are promoting very well the museum . My only concern is that in nearly 10 years this place is changing from a " quiet and nice village " to a crowdy and noisy city .... like probably other virgin places I guess !

Agree with you, Henri. Ubud is now changing, from a very quiet village on 1970-s to a very crowded village. I remember, in 1978, I was walking around the quiet Ubud (now the streets are too busy in Ubud, and crowded), walking by foot around the center of Ubud....

This picture below, another Balinese heritage from Kerajaan Karangasem, 40 cm long pedang-keris (semi-sword keris) named Ki Bajurante, was made during Raja Karangasem Anak Agung Gde Putu from Puri Gede on XVII century. The late last Karangasem raja (king), AAA Angelurah Ketut Karangasem, gave this heritage privately to his son, Anak Agung Gde Rai Sutedja (1989). Then sold to Pande Wayang Tusan (1991) from Bebandem, Karangasem, before sold to Pande Wayan Sutedja Neka -- the owner of Neka's Museum on 2006 in a ceremony at Pura Penataran, Peliatan Ubud.
