Museum Le Mayeur : info and guided tour

Introduction to Museum Le Mayeur

Museum Le Mayeur is located in Sanur, on the east coast of Bali, in a complex associated with the home and studio of Belgian artist Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur de Merprès. The site preserves the atmosphere of an artist’s residence facing the sea, with Balinese architecture adapted to domestic and creative use.

The museum mainly displays Le Mayeur’s paintings, known for scenes inspired by Bali, its landscapes, its light, and local daily life. The works are presented in rooms that let visitors discover the artist’s pictorial world in a setting closely tied to his life in Sanur.

The site as a whole also offers insight into the dialogue between European art and the Balinese environment. The spaces, decor, and display of the works remind visitors that Museum Le Mayeur is not a large encyclopedic museum, but a heritage site centered on one artist and his lasting connection with Sanur.
