This is a small, but extremely dense and fascinating exposition of various collections of art, relics and crafts. Many themes and regions of the world are represented; from 19th century Russian, the Buddhist East, Western Europe and the explorer’s own cherishes relics representing various adventurous stages of his life. There are many features that distinguish this museum, most notably is the gracious staff that creates a welcome home atmosphere.
