Entrance tickets to the Neka Art Museum are affordably priced, and there are rarely lines. Tours typically focus on the evolution of Balinese art—the Lempad Pavilion is home to a world-class collection of works by I Gusti Nyoman Lempad. But, 20th-century Indonesian masters, such as Affandi and Abdul Aziz, are also worth investigating, as is the pavilion dedicated to Dutch-Indonesian artist Arie Smit. The on-site store offers background on the art of Indonesia, while signage is generally clear, and Campuhan is easy to reach from downtown Ubud
