MUSEM BALI
a.
History of
Museum Bali
With
thw fall of Klungkung Kingdom into the hands of the Netherlands on 28th of
April 1908 indicated that Bali as a whole was under the Dutch colonial rule.
This situation certainly generated governace changes, such as, Bali which was
initially close to outside nations became more open, mainly to European
countries, especially the Dutch. This openess had provided increasing
opportunities for other foreign nations to come to Bali. Foreign nations
consisting of various segments of societies such as traders , goverment
officials, tourists and forth surely had different interest in accordance with
their professions. And then when they returned back to their countries, they
condition, if it is left in such away, would lead to the improverishment of
Balinese cultural haritage which the Dutch scientists, humanists, and artists
tried to prevent and at the same time in preserve the culture of Bali.
In
1910 W.F.J. Kroon, a Resident Assistant for South of Bali, after obtaining
suffclient input/contribution of through from Th. A. Resink on cultural
preservation, hd issued an idea to establish a museum of ethonography in order
to protech cultural objects from extinction.
The
idea had obtained acknowledgement and supports from scientists, artists,
humanist and support from all the king thoughout Bali. Furthermore Kroon
ordered Grundler Kurt a German architect who at the time was in Bali as a
tourist researcher to make plan together with the undagi ( Balinese traditional
building expert ), among other, I Gusti Ketut Rai and I Gusti Gede Ketut Kandel
of Denpasar. It must be realized that in order to make traditional buildings, the undagi might not ignore lontar
( papyrus ) Asta Kosala- Kosali, as well as some religious aspects as their
main basis. While Kurt Grunder as modern building planners might further
emphasize the strenght and function as a museum.
After
passing through a fairly through preparation, finally it could be decided to
build a museum in the form of architectural combination between temple (place
of prayer) and palace (the royal palace). Established on a plot of and in an
area of 2.600 m2 included three courtyard, namely, outer courtyard (jaba),
middle courtyard (jaba tengah), and inner courtyard (jeroan); each courtyard is
bordered by walls and gate ( candi bentar and candi kurung) as an entry gate, a
Balai Kulkul (wooden bell tower) on the south of jaba tengah.
On
the northwest corner a Balai Bengong stands where at the kingdom time, it was
used by the royal family as a resting place when they wanted to observe the
circumstances outside the palace. And in front of Tabanan Building, there is a
beji(bathing place for royal family). The roof of the building made of fibers
is only used for temple buildings in Bali. In the inner courtyard, there are
three buildings; each is called Tabanan Building, Karangasem Building, Buleleng
Building which are used to display the collections. The names of the buildings
are taken from the name of the contributing area of the building and are
considered to represent the architectural style of South Bali, East Bali and
North Bali. After the construction was completed, then the museum was officially
opened on 8th of December 1932 with the name of Museum Bali, and was managed.
