    It's worth the visit for the beautiful Architecture alone but here you have at least 4 exciting collections. All free entry! Egyptology. Small is beautiful. The votive objects here are as lovely as I ever saw in London or Paris. Amerindian. African. Oceanian(Particularly Vanuatu). Folk art from Mexico. Sunday morning is quiet. Enjoy!
