State Fine Arts School

Built in the early 20th century as the grand home of shipping and rubber magnate Lim Chin Tsong, this is another crumbling but highly evocative slice of Yangon's architectural heritage. On the ground floor, beneath the pagoda-like tower, is a gallery of student art.

Explore upstairs to find murals painted by Ernest and Dod Proctor, who later in their careers have had their works hung in London's Tate Gallery and National Portrait Gallery.
