Museum Le Mayeur, Sanur

Museum Le Mayeur is a museum housed in the former residence of Belgian artist Adrien Jean Le Mayeur. It is well placed at Jalan Hangtuah near Sanur Beach, with the Grand Bali Beach Hotel to its south and Pura Dalem and Diwangkara Hotel to the north.

Le Mayeur was once of the first Europeans to call Sanur home. After the artist passed away in 1958, his home was turned into a gallery and museum. The home is decorated with Balinese style woodcarvings and graced with many of Le Mayeur's oil and watercolor paintings. His wife, famous Balinese dancer Ni Pollok, appears in many of his work.

The house has been visited by many VIP's, including President Soekarno and Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. It is said that the idea to turn the house into a museum came after the Indonesian Minister of Education paid it a visit, and suggested the idea to Le Mayeur.
