Affandi Museum

Yogyakarta-area museum devoted to Indonesian painter Affandi, housed in his former riverside complex.

Affandi Museum preserves the riverside home and studio complex of Affandi, one of Indonesia's most important modern painters. The architecture, personal objects, and galleries make the museum feel like a lived-in artistic compound rather than a neutral white box.

It is one of the better art stops around Yogyakarta and Sleman, especially for visitors who want Indonesian modernism beyond batik and temple art. Give yourself time to look at both the paintings and the eccentric buildings.
