Small (as far as museums go) but with an impressive collection. The Imperial Screen Cabinet is a seriously impressive piece and so is the pagoda.
Then their shop at the end has all sorts of things to scratch your itch for cool minerals.
Glad I visited!

I love this museum. I run activities for seniors and drive the bus for outings. The layout is great. So easy to get in and out of for loading and unloading. It's all one floor so it's great for people with mobility issues. There are so many interesting things to see and even a few things that can be touched for even more sensory experiences. I bring my residents on the Free Wednesdays but any day would be great!

We came for a gem tree craft class, but had time before and after to walk around the museum and I did hear others in my party saying they wanted to come back for a longer viewing 😁
