VISUAL ART VENUES

Jogja is well-known throughout Indonesia as a center for the arts thanks primarily to the presence of ISI (Indonesia Institute of the Arts), one of the largest advanced-learning art education centers in Indonesia.

While some of Jogja's art institutions are museums, others are galleries with works for sale.
