Description:
- The wonders of the Eastern world preserved in this Georgian house number over a thousand, and date from 5000BCE right up to the 20th century. On the first floor are Chinese jade and stone carvings, as well as a large room devoted to bronze and other metallic arts. The Chinese Scholar's Studio hidden in the back is easily missed, but well worth seeking out. The second floor gallery is full of ceramics, sculptures, and bamboo carvings. In all areas, helpful displays assist you in understanding the significance of the art forms in Asian culture. Around every corner something will catch your eye; look out for Chinese and Japanese lacquer, and prints of traditional figures. Admission: Adults GBP5, Seniors GBP4, Students GBP3.50, Children between 6 to 12 years old GBP2 and children under 6 years old can visit for free
