Notes on Culture & Antique Art, Ethnic Decor & Vintage Fashion | Wovensouls Art Gallery
Just a quick post with photos from the Mataram museum in Lombok Indonesia (an island east of Bali).
Presenting over 100 photos taken with an old phone camera in 2015.
Many of the folk art museums in Asia are terrific resources as a first glimpse of an aspect of culture that might escape us completely in our normal touristic journey: e..g the aspect of the use of the Keris in Indonesia. it is not an object that we see worn in daily life anymore. And so the museum becomes a starting point of many new stories to pursue.
Which piece intrigues you the most in this museum?
