    The exterior of the place isn't particularly inviting, but the collections are incredibly rich. Very few visitors, so you can admire the pieces in peace and quiet. A must-see if you're visiting Biarritz.

    The collections are remarkable, particularly those on India, Tibet, and Nepal. The accompanying booklet is also very comprehensive. You could easily spend several hours per room, or even per display case in some places. A real gem in Biarritz. There's also a collection of highly specialized books available for purchase at affordable prices.

    What a wealth of information. I'm sorry to hear of the curator's passing.
