About Blanco Renaissance Museum
The Blanco Renaissance Museum is the former home of the painter Antonio Blanco (1912-1999), who was born in Manila, arrived in Bali in 1952 and in 1953 married Ni Ronji, a traditional Balinese dancer. He built his house and museum in Ubud on land given to him by the King of Ubud, Tjokorda Gde Agung Sukawati. The museum, which he saw as the realisation of a lifelong dream, opened at his residence on 28 December 1998, a year before his death.

What's inside
The museum shows more than 300 of Blanco's works in chronological order, tracing his development as an artist. His paintings mostly focus on women, in a romantic-expressive and dreamy style. The building itself reflects the artist's theatrical character and has been compared to the flamboyant style of Salvador Dalí. King Juan Carlos I of Spain awarded Blanco the Order of Cruz de Caballero, which gave him the use of the honorific Don.
