The spectaclesVisually and musically bewitching, Balinese theatre recounts myths and legends. Vladimira Dvorakova / age fotostock;
Balinese society is rich in a strong cultural identity whose artistic expression, which is extremely varied, is one of the island's best assets. Paintings and sculptures, traditional or contemporary, are very present, and the subject of active trade. Balinese architecture, which is delicate and creative, is really original. Several local museums are worth visiting, such as the Bali Museum, in Denpasar (painting, sculpture, craftwork), and the Neka museum (painting), at Ubud.
