The collection includes a 1930s Austin 7 and various rare models of Mercedes-Benz and Ford.
The founder, Mr. Jos Dharmawan, began his collection as a personal hobby before opening it to the public as a museum.
Some of the vehicles in the museum were previously owned by prominent Indonesian figures and royalty.
The property contains more than just cars, including a comprehensive display of vintage radios, cameras, and Indonesian advertising ephemera.
The museum grounds are often used as a venue for automotive enthusiast club gatherings and professional photography sessions.
Kebon Vintage Cars is a private museum in East Denpasar housing a collection of over 100 antique and classic vehicles. The collection features rare models from the early 20th century, including preserved European and American brands. Beyond automobiles, the facility showcases an extensive array of antique Indonesian memorabilia, colonial-era signage, and vintage household items. Many of the cars are maintained in functional condition and are occasionally driven for special events. The site is spread across an expansive, landscaped tropical garden setting that integrates the automotive displays with Bali’s natural environment. It serves as a repository for automotive history in Indonesia, focusing on vehicles that historically arrived in the archipelago. Visitors can explore multiple distinct display areas that categorize cars by era and origin.

Do not assume all parts of the collection are permanently displayed, as the owner frequently rotates vehicles for restoration or off-site events.
Closed on Sundays.
Do not touch the vehicles or move the displays; keep voices at a moderate level as this is a curated private collection.
