Palace of Paintings
“Puri Lukisan” Museum

Museum Director Pak Tjok Bagus and Master Painter I Gusti Nyoman Darta

Pak Tjok Bagus, a member of the Ubud royal family, has been the director of Puri Lukisan Museum since 1997. His passion is to keep the Balinese arts and culture alive.

I Gusti Nyoman Darta is the nephew and protégé of the legendary I Gusti Nyoman Lempad, Ubud’s most famous artist. Born in 1950, he became a full-time resident of Ubud Palace at the young age of five. Pak Darta’s position at the palace allowed him to study under the last King of Ubud, as well as begin his artistic career under the watchful eye of Lempad himself. Darta is indeed a keeper of Ubud history.
