The initiators of the Museum were and Dutch representatives of the colonial administration, and the kings of some specific kingdoms and the Principality of Bali, as well as architects and other representatives of culture. In 1917, the eruption of the volcano Gunung Batur, and the building was destroyed. In 1925, a new building was constructed, but it was used more as an exhibition complex due to the fact that the Museum's collection, including historical materials and documents, artifacts and Antiques, was not adequate.
