The effort to establish an ethnological museum came from W.F.I.Kroon, the Dutch Commander of Bali in 1910, and was then continued by Dr. W.F. Stutterheim, an expert of the Dutch Administrations Historical Department. The musium itself was officially opened on the 8th of Denpasar 1932 after the three main buildings, The Tabanan, Karangasem, and Buleleng buildings, were completed by two traditional Balinese architects - Gusti Ktut Gde Kandel and Gusti Ktut Rai, and a German architect Kurt Grundler.
It is one of the biggest museums in Indonesia, collecting various implements, cloths, artworks, religious paraphernalia, china, bronz, earthenwares, stones, from the neolithicum and megalithicum ages to recent times. The museum opens daily except Monday and holidays.
