Bali Peace Park Museum Confirmed for Bombing Site
Big news for Bali—after years of discussions and setbacks, the former Sari Club site is finally set to become the Bali Peace Park Museum, a space to honor the victims of the 2002 Bali Bombings and serve as a symbol of peace, unity, and remembrance.
The Badung Regency Government has officially purchased the 0.15-hectare site for IDR 60 billion, securing it for something truly meaningful. For years, this land has been caught in limbo, even used by small market traders, but now, it will be transformed into a place of reflection, learning, and hope.
The vision for the museum includes preserving historical records, promoting tolerance and understanding, and creating a green, peaceful space for those who come to pay their respects. Design planning is already in progress, with construction set to begin in 2026, funded by the Badung Regency Regional Budget.
For those of us who call Bali home, and for so many Australians who have a deep connection to this place, this is a long-awaited step in the right direction. It’s more than just remembering the past—it’s about carrying forward the values of peace, resilience, and humanity.
Bali never forgets. 🕊️🌿
