Museums -- Ubud has enjoyed a long relationship with foreign artists. As a result, the town has a few good museums and many galleries. All give you a crash course in authentic Balinese art, not to mention welcome respite from souvenir stalls. Of the many small museums in town, those listed below are the best choices, but don't pass up the free galleries around town, especially on Jalan Raya Sanggingan going north toward the more high-end resorts. In addition to the following, stop by the free Seniwati Gallery of Art by Women (Jalan Sriwedari 2B, Banjar Taman; tel. 361/975485; www.seniwatigallery.com) and the Agung Rai Museum and Gallery (Jalan Pengosekan; tel. 361/975742; www.armamuseum.com), another popular local collection.
