Museum Le Mayeur

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.

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.

despite being so glad to find this museum, I was really dissapointed and sad because of the condition of the place. No proper conservation for history of art of Le Mayeur's place and artworks over there. Mostly molded and very dirty, i saw only silica gel to prevent molds. Very very sad place. This place need someone who really care and would like to preserved it and its history sooner than later, or it will be getting worse by day because the weather in the area is very warm and humid.

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

Small, intimate museum about a Belgian-Balinese odd couple whose love story promoted intrigue and outrage (a Belgian artist in his 50s takes a 15 year old Balinese girl to be his lover, and eventually, his wife).

Interesting little corner of Balinese history but the artworks are so badly preserved: the 'museum' is actually Le Mayeur and Pollok's home, donated by them after their death, and there is no air conditioning so the paintings have decayed in the sea air.

It's a house museum who use to be the home of this Belgium painter called Le Mayeur, he lived and worked there with his Balinese companion and was even put under house arrest by the Nazis during Second World War.
The place is beautiful and the whole experience was very interesting. Plus it's right by the beach 5/5.
