A 50-foot green marble sculpture (15.24 meters) serves as a decorative gate into the museum. The sculpture is modeled after Blanco’s own signature, and the height (in meters) represents his birthday, (September 15) and is “the biggest signature in the world”. Don Antonio Blanco is often called "The Dali of Bali", but most of his artworks are stricken may be not by it techniques but its elegance of frames and their harmonious match with the picture. As you enter, you’ll notice golden Balinese dancers at each corner of the roof, and the goddess Saraswati (the Hindu goddess of knowledge, a favorite muse of Blanco’s) topping off the whole building.

The five-acre property beside the Campuhan River contains the art museum, which has an outrageous design that utterly dominates the grounds; a family house; a temple; a restaurant; and a gift shop. Ni Ronji Restaurant, named after Antonio Blanco’s wife. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday on 7.30 pm Balinese Dance Performance

"I didn't have to create fantasies, I lived them," stated Blanco

Sound: Mercedes Sosa - Todo Cambia; Gracias a la vida

Thanks to life that has given me so muchIt gave me two eyes that when openedCan perfectly distinguish black from whiteAnd the sky so high with its starry scape Thanks to life that has given me so muchIt has given me sounds and the alphabetWith all the words I can think and sayMother, friend, brother Thanks to life that has given me so muchIt has given me the step of my feetWith which I walk city streets and country sidesBeaches, mountains and plains Thanks to life that has given me so muchYou gave me my heart which beatsWhen I look at the result of the human beingWhen I see all the good, so far from the badWhen I see deep into your clear eyes Thanks to life that has given me so muchIt has given me laughter and it has given me tearsSo I can distinguish between joy and painThe two materials that form my songAnd your song, is the same song Thanks to life that has given me so much
