"Purbakala Archaeological Museum" looks like the wrong title

Hi Gryffindor, Grutness,

Openstreetmap knows 2 "Purbakala, bali" :

"Musée Museum Situs Purbakala, Jalan Raya Denpasar-Gilimanuk, Gilimanuk, Jembrana Regency, Bali" (1); that's at the west point of Bali.
"Musée Museum Purbakala, Jalan Dewi Uma, Pejeng-Guliang, Lokaserena, Gianyar Regency, Bali" (2)

n° 2: no mention of Bedulu but the map locates it between Pejeng-Guliang and Lokaserena, less than 2 km north of Bedulu. (The street camera - see further down - shows that it's slightly misplaced: it's north of Bedulu, between Bedulu and Pejeng-Guliang.)

googlemaps knows a number of places "Purbakala, Bali"; among which the "Museum Arkeologi" with the adress: F7JV+563, Bedulu, Blahbatuh, Gianyar Regency, Bali. Which is not quite the same place as openstreetmap's n° 2 but close enough. Name of the road in googlemaps: Jl. Raya Dr. Ir. Sukarno; can't work out if "lr." or "Ir." is small L or capital I.
The street camera on its entrance shows (a nice entrance and) a large sign outside that says:

"Museum Arreologi Gedong Arca",

followed by:

"Kementarian Pendi(?)kan, Kebudayan,

Riset, Dan(te?)knologi

and further down by:

Balai Pelestarian Kebudayaan

Wilayah XV

Therefore for now I'm adding the name "Museum Arreologi Gedong Arca" to the article, as that is the name I find in this source (p. 133). "Gedong Arca" is also the name of the Indonesian article (Museum Gedong Arca [id]) for that same museum (at least I assume it's the same museum: same name as on the street sign, can't be that many such museums in and around Betulu; as for the Indonesian article, I don't read that language but it says "Lokasi di Bedulu", obviously means that that's where it is).

I also note that what with the quantity of sites known in googlemaps with the name "Purbakala, Bali", including two museums (the same ones as in openstreetmap here above), the title of this article has clearly not been properly thought through.
On the other hand, a search "Gedong Arca" gives that museum and nothing else. Looks like the name given in Indonesian wiki is the proper name for it. A few checks: bali.com gives "Gedong Arca Museum" and says it's in Tampak Siri; but their map shows the address for our here museum, north of Bedulu.
Although I also find "Museum Gedung Arca (Museum Negeri Provinsi Sumatra Utara)", on tripadvisor (somewhere in Sumatra). So it would be a good idea to prevent any further ambiguity with a title that also gives the location.
In view of all this, I think no-one will reasonably object if the title here is changed accordingly to "Museum Gedong Arca, Bedulu". Pueblo89 (talk) 15:57, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
