A place worth remembering
The courtyard joins two phases

Ganch and carved wood
The city page says the house was reworked in the oriental manner, with ganch on the walls, carved wooden columns and ornaments painted on walls and ceilings.[1]
A collection across generations
The city account loosely sorts the exhibits into three groups: pieces rooted in ancient traditions, pieces by 20th-century masters and pieces by present-day craftspeople.[1]
