Museum Le Mayeur

Absolutely worth to go if you want to see and enter a traditional Balinese house from the last century, and if you like paintings of Balinese dancers.

Worth a visit, but the beautiful impressionist paintings are in desperate need of proper conservation.

The visit of this museum makes sad. The museum, the house and studio of the legendary Belgium painter Le Mayeur and his Balinese wife can be a highlight, but one can for the moment that everyting will rotten. Shame to the people who are responsible. Nice museum for those who want to see a cultural disaster. In the that case 50.000 Rp.is a good price for a ticket.

Museum yang bagus, sangat menikmati koleksi-koleksi lukisan yang dilukis di sekitar museum. Serasa sedang berada di lokasi sekitaran tahun 1957. Hebat!

Well worth the stroll up Sanur beach to see this. First a sumptuous example of 1930s Balinese architecture and décor set in peaceful gardens with the sound of the ocean just over the wall; second to see the works of the Belgian artist who settled here, Le Mayeur. Personally I preferred the impressionistic oil paintings of landscapes and harbour scenes to the (numerous) aquarelles and drawings of bare-breasted Balinese women. Just saying.

Another French who found his way to Bali, Island, Indonesia and lived there. Nice to see his paintings and to

The location is in front of Sanur beach. The ticket is cheap n we get a booklet (free of charge) about the museum n history of Le Mayeur. Don't forget to ask for this.

I thought I would see beautiful paintings. What I found broken old paintings n replicas. The museum well maintained as it was restorated (only I could not find dust bin!), we can see how Le Mayeur n Ni Pollock lived, but I guess it was too late to be restorated, I cannot enjoy the paintings as I expect it.

This museum is rich in history and valuable paintings in a strategic location by the beach but lack of maintenance. It needs more preservation efforts to rejuvenate this place to attract more visitors.

Road works around the museum so you have to walk along the beach path. Its not really a museum - more like a gallery with some of the early paintings, from 1938 onward. Many of them are very faded but they are a charming part of Balinese history.

I think people are avoiding this place like the plague which is a shame. The buildings and grounds are lovely and have a story to tell. It doesn’t look good for the artwork tho’. It is poorly preserved and presented. The entrance fee is too high. IDR20000 would be enough, and more people would come.

An interesting little gallery with lots of Le Mayeurs work.

Reasonably priced but a little bit out in the middle of knowwhere, not much around in that area.

Staff are helpful and nice

Umm. Kind of interesting to see how people lived back then I guess. Most of the paintings not in the greatest shape. My daughter was weirded out by the 50 year Belgian "artist" going on to marry the 15 year old Balinese girl who posed for his paintings. Admission is 50K, you could call it pricey for the 15 minutes you will spend there.

Delicious paintings of this Belgian painter, as well impressionistic as romantic style in period 1923 - 1958. Gives a fine insight of Bali culture in first half former century. Also he gathered Balinese art and rich classical furniture.
His younger wife, a amazing beautiful Bali dancer is of breathtaking beauty.
To be regretted how bad the paintings are conserved.
Statues in garden are really styleful and romantic

Jika ingin belajar dan melihat potret Pulau Bali Tempo dulu, sebelum zaman kemerdekaan. Anda bisa berkunjung ke lokasi museum le mayeur. Tiketnya gak mahal mahal amat kok, kalau mahasiswa cukup rogoh kocek sebesar 5 ribu saja.

Setelah anda akan terbawa ke suasana Bali Tempo dulu. Seperti itu jadi nya dan saya yg tau Alam Bali memiliki pesona yg magis dapat menarik wisatawan di zaman 1900 an sampai sekarang.
Good luck Bali ku

Saya pikir Pemerintah Denpasar atau Bali mesti memikirkan cara agar museum ini tetap eksis, karena punya nilai sejarah. Karena dari segi perawatan buruk sekali, sepertinya dinas kebudayaan atau lembaga terkait tidak serius.

Bagaimana mau melestarikan budaya, satu museum kecil begini saja tidak diperhatikan.

Museum bisa menjadi satu tool untuk belajar sejarah bagi anak-anak, agar tidak hanya fokus pada pariwisata.

Berpuluh2 tahun hidup di pulau Bali.baru kali ini menginjakkan kaki di Museum ini.indah.teduh kurang terawat

Pretty bleak museum, really wouldn't recommend.

There were two or three small rooms filled with paintings, which has/had some potential, but sadly it really isn't worth the 50k rupiah entrance fee.

There was very little written information about any of the paintings.

The paintings had zero protection from the sun, so we're badly damaged and will only be getting worse.

The toilets were barley functional (my girlfriend who has travelled extensively in SE Asia refused to use them).

Tempat tinggal Mayeur-Pollok saat di Sanur, berisi lukisan Le Mayeur (sebagian besar repro). Ada juga lukisan asli dan foto perjalanan Mayeur dan Ni Pollok.

Bagus untuk dikunjungi jika ingin melihat rumah khas Bali jaman dulu

Merupakan musium milik Le Mayeur tempat menyimpan hasil karya seni lukis Le Mayeur Model lukisannya adalah istrinya sendiri yang asli orang Bali. Le Mayeur jatuh cinta dengan wanita Bali hingga dia menikah. Tapi sayang dia tidak punya keturunan karena Le Mayeur melarang istrinya untuk hamil karena takut bentuk tubuh istrinya berubah tidak bagus lagi kalau menjadi model lukisannya.

Although this museum is about an expat living in Bali, the house, his paintings, the photos, all gives you an idea of how life must have been almost a century ago on this unique island. The state of the house is not in good condition, but that doesn't take away the experience of a very different time when the island didn't know tourism and life was simple. You'll find tiny doors between rooms and rooms small as well - this way of constructing the house served for the natural ventilation of the space.

Lokasinya dekat sekali dengan Pantai Sanur, sejuk dan ada spot pendapa untuk istirahat. Tiket domestik Rp. 25.000, buka setiap hari kecuali hari libur nasional. Tidak boleh memotret di dalam area dalam museum.

Museum ini berlokasi di obyek wisata pantai Sanur, dari tempat parkir diperlukan jalan kaki menuju museum ini menyusuri tepian pantai yang berpasir putih atau menyusuri jalan yang diapit oleh stan oleh oleh disepanjang jalur ini, koleksi seni cukup banyak dipajang di museum ini.

It's a cruise beach. Probably not the best idea of swim here. And there is a drainage that directly let's out household waste water into the sea right beside you. Epic, no?

Accessable on the beach front of Sanur. Everything looked a bit run down but they claim everything is kept in untouched original state. We were left to use our imagination and view the collection. There was no other information on video about the history of La Mayeur or his model / wife Ni Pollock. Definitely recommend reading up before or after you go to get context.

You could view several oh Mayeur's work in his studio house. However on a hot day there is limited ventilation in the rooms.

Museum Le Mayeur terletak di kawasan wisata Pantai Sanur.dari tempat parkir bus daripada jalan kaki bisa sewa sepeda cuma 5 ribu rupiah.tiket masuk museum cuma 5 ribu.pengunjung dilarang mengambil foto di dalam museum. Museum ini berisi lukisan-lukisan karya Le Mayeur dan foto-foto Bali kala itu.

Kalau ke pantai sanur jangan lupa mampir kesini. Menurut saya tiket masuknya terlalu mahal buat wisatawan domestik

Like almost all old museums in Bali, this small museum need a little renovation and sustainable maintenance. A very private intimate space trying to stimulate every visitor's imagination of a romantic relationship between Belgian painter, Le Meyeur and his beloved Balinese wife, Ni Pollok. There are some old furnitures and reproduction painting with little information. Nice view and ambience of Sanur beach outside the museum is a plus. Overall it's worth a visit.

Good art collection. Some are very awesome in sense that they are paited by mindful artist. Nice host and walk around.
