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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
