Linger in contemplation before a collection of golden Buddhas from the Himalayas, and bask in the peace they irradiate. Admire the exquisite calligraphy and drawings of 15th century Persian manuscripts. Stand undisturbed, taking in every detail of samurai armours and Japanese painted screens.

Whether you know exactly what you want to see, or are open to discovering works of art you still don’t know of, your guide will lead an exclusive 90 minutes in this treasure trove of human artistry.
