Museum Le Mayeur

The Le Mayeur Museum on the beachfront at Sanur preserves the former home and studio of a Belgian painter who settled in Bali in the 1930s and married a celebrated Balinese dancer. The traditional-style house, set in a small garden near the shore, displays his luminous canvases depicting Balinese life, temple scenes and above all his wife amid tropical gardens. Carved wooden panels, furnishings and personal effects remain much as he left them. The intimate museum captures the encounter between European artists and Balinese culture in the.
