Affandi Museum

This museum or gallery displays so many works of the late Affandi, one of the most prominent Indonesian artists, mostly known for his expressive abstract paintings.

It’s located on Laksda Adi Sucipto street. Gallery 1 only displays Affandi’s works, while Gallery 2 displays creation of other artists, and there’s also a Gallery 3 which I failed to peek in to. Across Gallery 1, there’s a café where you could hang out for a sip of coffee or two, or the Indonesians’ most favorite bottled drink called Teh Botol Sosro. Next to the café, stood a caravan-like bamboo building that now functions as mushalla, a prayer room for Moslems.

It was initially built by Affandi for his private room with his first wife who passed away before he did.
