Just north of the cricket ground (in the Palace of St Michael & St George) is the Museum of Asian Art, built between 1818 and 1824 as the British Lord High Commissioner's residence. Expertly curated with extensive, informative English-language placards, the collection’s approximately 10,000 artefacts – collected from China, Japan, India, Tibet, Nepal, Korea and Thailand – include priceless prehistoric bronzes, ceramics, jade figurines, coins and works of art in onyx, ivory and enamel.
