Museum Le Mayeur

It's a sweet little place with an interesting history. I wish the artwork could be displayed better but thus us the residence of the artist and not a purpose-built museum. They are trying to renovate it. Garden is pretty too.

We were intrigued by the museum by the beach and decided to check it out. Entry is 100k per person. On the plus side, the architecture is stunning—both inside and out—and the gardens are beautiful and well-maintained. However, the artwork felt a bit neglected, and the art shop was underwhelming, which was a bit disappointing. Still worth a visit if you appreciate unique architecture and tranquil gardens.

Beautiful little house and garden. The artworks are also very interesting but unfortunately many of the originals are decaying and faded, whilst a number have been replaced by low quality reproductions printed on canvas which have dramatically faded and shifted colour to an almost monochrome blue. It’s sad … Nonetheless there are five or six originals tucked in darker corners where the colors are still vibrant and they are worth seeing

Overall a very nice museum to see some cool paintings from various different mediums, as well as furniture and photographs from the past. There are 2 buildings which house the collection, but it seems that one of them seems to be not finished. A bit more signs to explain the context and the history of the place and better care for the collection should definitely be added for the future. Definitely a nice little detour if you have the time, would take around 15 minutes 👍. Remember to not take any photographs of the collection!

This little museum and the painter with his intriguing personal life was really a discovery! It is heartbreaking, though, that his magnificent artwork is not preserved and conserved any better.

Stunning garden and enjoyable areas to sit and imagine how it was in the past during Le Mayeur and Ni Pollok's days. Unfortunately, the collection is not as well maintained as the garden is. Even the replicas looked neglected. I got the chance to see Le Mayeur's well preserved original work in another museum in Bali, hence the ones presented here are pale comparison. The challenge of running a museum by the beach, weathered the tropical humidity, with limited budget. Still, I enjoyed looking at the architecture and the furniture. Heartbroken seeing a large tree being chopped down for the root disrupted the concrete path outside. We agreed that the tree must be older that this museum. Exploring the areas and wishing there are more stories presented here to elaborate the art, the lives, and how the museum survive to what it is now. We spent about half an hour sitting in the verandah and chatting with another tourists who mused about his previous visit to this establishment some two decades ago and meeting a painter who was able to copy Le Mayeur's art to the details. None of that exists now. I didn't even notice any shops or merchandise on diplay. Yet, I am sure they are doing their best.

Love this painter, can imagine why he chooses to stay at Bali, the building is beautiful but exhibition need adjustment to protect these paintings

Cost is double advertised price at 100k per person. Artworks are difficult to view as covered by dirty & smeary glass. Beautiful garden, pond etc & the carved woodwork in & around the buildings is magnificent. Interesting little place. Not much information offered & takes maybe 10 or 15 mins.
