Davide has been a long term traveller for the last seven years, sharing his stories and impressive photos on NomadTravellers.com and travelling sustainably and very low cost. He knows every corner of Europe, in particular Italy and Romania, he loves Nepali Himalaya and he has extensive experience in South East Asia, where he calls Indonesia his second home. He is specialized in sightseeing guides and reports from his first hand experiences, with a focus on nature, arts and architecture.
Several of Affandi's paintings from different artistic moments are exhibited in the Museum, and also his famous Colt Galant car, customized to resemble a fish, design that Affandi refused to sell to the producer.
Not only Affandi, but also his descendants are greatly skilled. In some of the galleries one can see paintings by his daughter and several other family members up for sale. Affandi Museum is located about six km north east of Malioboro Street, and while it's an oasis of peace and art, it is unfortunately overlooking a chaotic main road, connecting the city with its international airport.
