Destination Story & Highlights
Where Expressionism Meets Javanese Soul
The residence-turned-museum of world-renowned expressionist painter Affandi, displaying hundreds of his legendary paintings characterized by distinctive palette-knife techniques. Set along the tranquil banks of the Code River in a uniquely designed open-air gallery.
"Affandi, often called the "Pablo Picasso of Indonesia," designed the museum's iconic curvilinear roofs himself, claiming they were shaped by his dreams of the ocean waves. The museum preserves his personal living quarters intact, offering an intimate glimpse into the daily life of this creative genius who painted over 2,000 works in his lifetime."
