Mammoth Art Gallery And Wood Carving — Attraction in Pulau Bali

The wood carvings themselves are undeniably skillful, with intricate detail and craftsmanship worth admiring. Unfortunately, the overall experience was poor.

From the moment we entered, a staff member followed us closely, applying soft but constant pressure. Any glance at an item was met with a push to buy, turning even mild interest into an opportunity for hard selling. It felt more like being hunted than welcomed.

Incredibly expensive!!! Sure their collections are stunning and impressive, but the prices are all in usd, who wants to use that to think how much Thu g's cost, but the main thing is that this all pqlces is studied to rip you off, the prices are insane, like Western world prices..

Speak perfect English and other languages, all carefully put in place to make you feel you are buying the best quality there is, when in reality is just all staged as high end and fancy just to rip you off.. Nowhere else in Bali will see 1000s of dollars prices on...

Enjoy the history of the wood carving in Bali. This place is run by families of wood carvers. Couldn't buy anything though, they sell in USD fyi. But you can watch and appreciate all their work for free. Some of their life size figures are so realistic that you'd be surprised when you first see them. The attention to detail is top class and no item is ever the same, so whatever you get here will surely be unique. They had geckos,dogs, cats, eagles, komodo dragons and horses even jaguars. Bali wood is a good souvenir and it changes color over time(from green to...
