Blanco Renaissance Museum, located in Ubud on the island of Bali, Indonesia, is a testament to the life and work of the famed Philippine-born Spanish artist, Don Antonio Blanco. The museum stands atop a hill in Campuan just west of Ubud's central town, with the lush tropical backdrop of Bali's natural beauty. Blanco, who settled in Bali in the 1950s, was known for his passionate and sensual works of art, which were heavily influenced by Balinese culture and the people, especially the women. The museum, which was his home and studio, showcases an extensive collection of his paintings, collages, and illustrated poetry. The grand and eclectic building boasts classical Balinese architecture fused with Spanish style, reflecting Blanco's personal flair. Within its opulent surroundings, visitors can explore his studios, the family's temple, and lush gardens. The museum also provides a glimpse into Blanco's charismatic lifestyle and the lavish parties once hosted there. Visitors can end their tour with a stop at the museum's restaurant for a scenic view over the Campuan River.
