What people say

"This is an amazing charming museum. It does not offer the richness and variety of larger museums but neither the headache. It is dedicates to Asian art. It is small and manageable wirh a lot of historical information about the east-asia dynasties. Very well organised in chronological order. We have visited during Museum night and the atmosphere was magical. Even if you are not so much interested in asian art, it is free and very enjoyable. I strongly recomend it. If you are, its a must see."
