Wonderfully flamboyant & colourful museum featuring the numerous mediums of Antonio Blanco, an artist who immersed himself & spent the bulk of his life on 'The Island of the Gods' Set amongst incredible gardens, with his large exotic birds meandering around, an experience not to be missed when visiting Ubud.
