After Indonesia's independence, the minister visited the home of Le Mayeur and one of his models, now his wife, and suggested they turn it into a museum.

Following a bout with cancer, he had to return to Belgium for treatment. He died in Brussels two months after his arrival, leaving his wife to run the Le Mayeur museum in Bali.
