TIME : 2016/2/19 2:27:49

Did you know that pipes were first used by Native Americans around 500 BC? It's the starting point of the history of pipes at this unexpectedly fascinating museum, which displays a private collection of objects collected over 40 years from some 60 different countries. Knowledgeable guides take you through the collection's Chinese opium pipes, Turkish water pipes, carved Maori pipes, African ceremonial pipes and much more. The opportunity to explore the beautiful 17th-century canal house is worth the admission price alone.
