We actually just came here for lunch because the cafes were said to be picturesque which they were, and it was close to where we were staying. Rick Steves guidebook described it as a museum for decorative arts which didn't catch my interest, but was not a good description at all. We probably only had time to explore a quarter of the museum but what we saw was very interesting and worth a visit. I would describe it as more of a cultural museum with displays from all over the world. They had an amazing collection of buddhas and Hindu artwork from Asia, a codex notebook of Leonardo da Vinci, a chest of relics of Thomas Beckett, huge jewelry display as well as fashion displays. What I thought was really cool were two huge rooms with life size copies of sculptures and monuments from other places such as Michelangelo's David from Florence & Moses from Rome, a couple of representations of David & Goliath (one of the Borghese in Rome), Trajans Column (in 3 pieces to fit), and many others.
