Rumah Seni Ropih (Ropih Art House) was founded by the late Abah Ropih on Jalan Braga in Bandung with the aim of preserving art and encouraging future generations to continue creating. Originally known as Bunga Art Gallery in 1999, the name "Bunga" was inspired by the birth of Abah Ropih's daughter. In 2010, the gallery's name was changed to Rumah Seni Ropih, remaining committed to being a platform for art and culture.
