About

The Peter Bloch Collection (P.B.C.) is a testament to five decades of passion, preservation, and a deep-seated love for the diverse cultures of the Indonesian archipelago. What began as a personal journey of discovery by Dr. Peter Bloch has evolved into a world-class sanctuary of art, housing thousands of rare artifacts that span over two millennia of history.

Within these walls, visitors encounter an extraordinary range of masterpieces, from prehistoric stone carvings and intricate tribal weaves to the refined elegance of Javanese court arts. Each piece has been meticulously selected for its historical significance and spiritual resonance, including the legendary Mads Lange collection and artifacts gifted by the Asmat people. The collection offers a rare, intimate look at the evolution of Indonesian craftsmanship, highlighting the mystical symbolism and cultural identity that define this vast nation.

Our mission is to safeguard these cultural treasures for future generations while offering guests an immersive, storytelling experience that transcends the typical museum visit. We invite you to explore this living legacy, a journey through time that reveals the true soul.
