Description:

On a private tour, visit charming galleries and fascinating museums to explore why Yogyakarta is Java’s soulful cultural hub. See ancient antiques, vivid paintings, and contemporary pieces as you stop at 3 locations across the city, led by a knowledgeable local guide.

On the banks of the Gaja Wong River is the Affandi Museum, built to honor one of Java’s most famous artists. Stroll through the gallery for an exhibition of Affandi’s work, typified by the bright colors and expressionist style reminiscent of one of the world’s true masters, Van Gogh. Moving on, see additional galleries which display both permanent and temporary installations from local and foreign artists.

Nearby, stop at the Jogja National Museum, featuring a range of cultural exhibits. Explore the contemporary art library to see what current trends are on display, and visit the intriguing music shop stocked with a diverse range of local and international independent music.

Finish your day at the Jogja Gallery with an opportunity to examine ancient antiques and consider the future as you check out an impressive space devoted to young, up-and-coming artists. The gallery’s use of a traditional home to display its collection is a fine example of the city’s efforts to preserve their cultural heritage.
