Overview

NuArt Sculpture Park is a 3-hectare art space owned by renowned Indonesian sculptor Nyoman Nuarta, featuring his lifelong body of work. The facility serves as both an exhibition space and a working studio where visitors can observe the bronze casting process. The park integrates large-scale copper and bronze sculptures into a landscaped outdoor setting. Key permanent exhibits include massive figurative works that define the artist's style. The grounds host a dedicated gallery space for temporary exhibitions by contemporary Indonesian artists. A restaurant and cafe are integrated into the complex for visitor use. The architecture of the building itself reflects Nuarta’s distinct modernist design philosophy. It operates as a cultural hub for art education, workshops, and community events in the Bandung area.
