Sights and landmarks in Sanur

  1. SeePublic art

    Le Mayeur Museum

    This is the former home of Belgian impressionist painter Adrian Jean Le Mayeur, and is now a museum dedicated to his works. Le Mayeur arrived in Bali in 1932 and soon immersed himself in the culture of the island, and married a noted Balinese Legong dancer. Much of the house stands just as it did when he died in 1958, and apart from viewing his works, visitors will gain an insight into what it must have been like to be one of Bali's very first expats. The whole place is in need of some maintenance, but this remains one of Bali's hidden treasures. Has a small but beautiful garden. Not suitable for wheelchairs; includes high steps.
