Affandi (1907–1990), born in Cirebon, became the leading figure of Indonesian expressionism, famous for squeezing paint directly from the tube and working it with his fingers. He designed his home and first gallery himself on the bank of the Gajah Wong river, paying for the construction with the sale of his paintings. Gallery I was completed in 1962 and formally inaugurated in 1974 by Ida Bagus Mantra, then Indonesia's Director-General of Culture. Affandi lived here until his death on 23 May 1990 and, at his wish, was buried in the museum grounds, where his wife Maryati also lies. The complex covers about 3,500 square metres beside the river. Its best-known feature is the curving roofline Affandi designed to resemble a banana leaf. Gallery II was built with support from President Suharto and inaugurated on 9 June 1988 by education minister Fuad Hasan; Gallery III was opened by Sultan Hamengkubuwono X in 2000, and a fourth gallery followed in 2002. Affandi's two-storey family house, raised on stilts, now houses the Loteng café, and the grounds include studios, among them the Gajah Wong Studio used for painting classes and workshops. Gallery I traces Affandi's career from early portraits to late expressionist canvases and displays his personal belongings: his Galant sedan, an old bicycle, brushes, paint-stained clothes, awards and press cuttings. Works shown in the museum include the revolutionary-period painting Mata-Mata Musuh (Enemy Spy, 1947) and the late Pengemis dari Tanjung Cirebon (1985), as well as bronze sculptures. Gallery II presents paintings by other Indonesian artists, including Sudjojono, Hendra Gunawan, Basuki Abdullah and Popo Iskandar, while Gallery III shows embroidered pictures by Maryati and paintings by their daughter Kartika Affandi. The museum lies about 6 km east of central Yogyakarta on Jalan Laksda Adisucipto, a 400-metre walk from TransJogja stops. The ticket includes a soft drink and a souvenir, and photography carries an extra fee of Rp20,000 for phone cameras or Rp30,000 for DSLRs. Food and drink may not be taken into the galleries, groups must book in advance, and the site is wheelchair accessible, with ramps and accessible toilets. The museum opens Monday to Saturday and is closed on Sundays. Best for: Art Lovers · Modern Art Lovers · First-timers ## How long do you need at Affandi Museum? Allow **1.5 hours**.
