Ubud's other major art museum is the Agung Rai Museum of Art , usually referred to as ARMA (daily 9am-6pm; Rp10,000), in Pengosekan, on the southern fringes of Ubud. ARMA has entrances next to the Kokokan Club restaurant on Jalan Pengosekan as well as on Jalan Hanoman. The upstairs gallery of ARMA's large Bale Daja pavilion gives a brief survey of the development of Balinese art; Anak A Sobrat's Baris Dance is a typical example of Ubud-style art, and the contemporary Batuan-style piece by I Wayan Bendi, Life in Bali, is crammed with typical Balinese scenes and laced with satirical comments, notably in the figures of long-nosed tourists. Across the garden, the middle gallery of the Bale Dauh reads like a directory of Bali's most famous expats, displaying works by Rudolf Bonnet, Antonio Blanco and Arie Smit and, the highlight, Calonnarang by the German artist Walter Spies, a dark portrait of a demonic apparition being watched by a bunch of petrified villagers.
