This Baroque house showcases the National Gallery's surprisingly extensive collection of Asian art. The Chinese and Japanese holdings are particularly good, but there's also a smattering of Indian, South-east Asian and Islamic pieces, plus a handful of Tibetan scrolls. It's a 30-minute bus ride from the metro, but the grounds of the museum, housed in another former palace, make the trip worthwhile. There are also a few interactive art activities for kids.
