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
