Known forunderratednicheelegantuncrowded
Sharing the elegant Palermo mansion complex with the Decorative Arts museum, this compact but genuinely impressive collection covers art and artifacts from across Asia and the Islamic world, including Japanese ceramics, Chinese bronzes, Indian textiles, and Persian miniatures. It's one of the most overlooked museums in the city and almost never crowded. The curation is scholarly and the pieces are of real quality. A perfect pairing with the adjacent Decorative Arts museum for a full afternoon.
