Set in three villas in a leafy park and fronted by a striking emerald glass entrance, this museum houses the country’s only assembly of African, Asian and ancient American art. Highlights of the permanent collection include a shaman eagle mask, Persian wall hangings and Chinese cloisonné enamelling. The collection is frequently complemented by temporary exhibitions.
