Lonely Planet review

Swap continents at Rome's little-known but impressive National Museum of Oriental Art. Set in a fabulously camp palazzo (palace), its collection of near- and far-Eastern treasures includes carved ancient Afghani marble, richly hued 15th-century Kubachi ceramics, painted Tibetan fans from the 11th to 18th centuries and intricate Nepalese textiles. English-language information is wanting, but the pieces speak for themselves.
