    You can't imagine what you'll find inside; it's wonderful from beginning to end. The staff at the entrance were incredibly friendly. I loved it!! I highly recommend it if you visit this city.

    A lovely collection of Asian objects. A very comprehensive guidebook is available in print. (Also available as an audiobook.) The focus is primarily on India rather than China. But you'll find plenty of beautiful pieces. Allow between 1 and 1.5 hours to see everything at a leisurely pace.
