Lempad's House, Bali Overview
An artist so revered in Bali, Lempad is often known as Lempad of Bali. Lempad's House in Bali pays homage to the unique craft of the legendary Balinese artist, I Gusti Nyoman Lempad. Responsible for the distinct style of architecture that most of Bali's temples and palaces have become emblematic of, Lempad is a household name in Ubud, and the late artist's residence has been turned into a gallery of some of his artworks that can be viewed. The estate is still run by his surviving family members and is complete with a beautiful Balinese garden, and is a must-visit for all art-aficionados.
Lempad’s House is commonly referred to as The Lempad of Bali House. The house is well-maintained and is open for public visits. It is being managed by the late artist’s surviving family. On selected days, one family member greets the visitors and gives them a tour of the house while narrating Lempad’s life experiences. Visitors must note that Lempad’s House does not display the legendary artist’s complete collection as many artworks are exhibited in museums.
