The museum’s Open Stage holds traditional Balinese dance performances 5 times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Dances such as the Legong Dance, Topeng, Barong and Kris Dance, and Wayang Wong Ramayana are scheduled every week except on the new moon and full moon during which time the Cak Rina Dance (Fire and Trance Dance) is performed instead.

Cultural workshops include Balinese Dance, Balinese Cooking, Balinese Astrology & Numerology, Batik ainting, and Offering Making.

In recent years, the museum expanded into a resort which now has 15 rooms and 8 luxury villas. If you are planning to stay in Ubud and are interested in art and culture, staying at the Arma Resort will entitle you to an ARMA Resort Guest Card which gives you a free entry into the Agung Rai Museum of Art.
