The unofficial landmark of Ubud.
A house-cum-art studio-turned-museum overlooking the beautiful valley of Campuhan, the Blanco Renaissance Museum is home to an eclectic mix of paintings, illustrated poetry, and other captivating pieces of artwork centred on its master’s greatest muse – nude Balinese women, in particular, Blanco’s Balinese wife. The grandiose, lavishly decorated exterior is a sight not to be missed, featuring a unique blend of Balinese and Spanish architecture, a homage to Blanco’s personal heritage.
Art aficionados and museum lovers will love going through the museum’s extensive collection of art pieces by Blanco and his son, Mario, amidst unique, elaborately decorated frames and a massive, coloured hallway. Some of the art pieces will inspire, whilst others will engage the viewer in gross fascination, but all will intrigue and fascinate with its vivid and erotic theme. Visitors will also enjoy exploring the collection of exotic birds and the lush palatial gardens situated within the museum grounds, be sure to take several pictures to commemorate this unique experience!
