In 2024, TIME Magazine included SAKA in its list of the World’s Greatest Places, while the museum also earned a spot in the Top 100 Kyoto Global Design Awards for its commitment to innovation and sustainability.

“SAKA Museum has become a cultural source of pride and inspiration for Bali,” said Museum Director Dr. Judith E. Bosnak in a statement on Tuesday (May 13). “This award is a tribute to the creativity and dedication of the entire SAKA team, and reinforces the importance of accessible, sustainable, and innovative spaces for cultural learning.”

The museum has actively promoted Balinese heritage through a series of internationally recognized exhibitions. Among them is The Kasanga: Nyepi Exhibition, an immersive showcase of the Balinese Day of Silence, featuring artworks that illustrate the sacred rituals of the celebration.

Another standout is Subak: The Ancient Order of Bali, which explores Bali’s traditional water temple network and irrigation system, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

SAKA’s upcoming exhibition, Heritage Gallery: The Five Elements, will delve into the spiritual philosophy of Bali’s five natural elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—that form the foundation of life and balance on the island.
