Traveler reviews
Vanessa
★★★★★3 months agoWe visited this museum on the international museum day, so our entry was free (Sunday)! We did not have to queue at all and it wasn't crowded. I really enjoyed learning so much about east-asian culture and their antique art/history. The staff here is also really nice and garderobe is free (even though we tipped them a bit of money, since they were being so nice!).
Alberto Benetollo
★★★★★2 years agoSmall Museum but with a great deal of art. There are some beautiful sculture reproduction and painting that deserves to be seen. When I was there, a room was closed. There is also a small shop that is very nice and also the personnel very warm and welcoming.
