This gallery has been designated "Modern Sculpture" to differentiate it from other traditional forms of sculpture found in the region ranging from megalithic sculpture to classical stone and bronze sculpture, to tribal sculpture. Most of the pieces in this gallery are from Bali. The Balinese are indisputably some of the most proficient carvers of realistic human figures in the world. The collection also features some fine works from Java.
