Museum Le Mayeur, Sanur

Tucked away at the northern tip of Sanur Beach, Museum Le Mayeur is the former home of Belgian painter Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur de Merprès, who settled in Bali in 1932. This Balinese-style wooden house holds dozens of his original paintings, fine carvings, and a romantic atmosphere rarely found amid modern Sanur.

The Story of Le Mayeur and Ni Pollok

Le Mayeur fell in love with Bali's tropical light and with Ni Pollok, a young Legong dancer who became his wife and principal model. Nearly every canvas here shows Ni Pollok in the garden, on the beach, or among flowers — a record of love that lasted decades.

What to See

• Original impressionist-style paintings in Le Mayeur's warm palette
• A lotus pond and garden in the house's courtyard
• Wood carvings, statues, and antique Balinese furniture
• Authentic raised wooden house architecture

Visiting Tips

Arrive early when the light is softest and the air still cool; a visit takes about 30–45 minutes. Bring cash for tickets, dress modestly, and remove your shoes before entering the painting rooms. The museum pairs easily with a morning stroll along Sanur's beach walk.
