Nowdays it has to offer so many collections to see and so much to experience that you can spend many\u00a0 hours and days in it and you&#8217;ll not be able to see everything. On the <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3aBTLvr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official page<\/a> you can find out all the details about it&#8217;s history and what all is avaliable for visitors. Right now it&#8217;s closed, because of the situation we are facing, but it is for sure one of the places that I warmly suggest you to write on your bucket list.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m gonna show you just a little part of all the photos I took, because you really need to see it by yourself. The pictures I choose to show you I\u00a0 focused on beautiful sealing designs, paintings, ornaments and the floors.
