Lonely Planet review for Museo Nazionale d’Arte Orientale

Rome’s little-known but impressive National Museum of Oriental Art offers a welcome break from all the ruins, Michelangelos and Caravaggios that litter the rest of the city. Its comprehensive collection of Near and Far Eastern artefacts runs the gamut from 15th-century Kubachi ceramics to painted Tibetan fans and intricate Nepalese textiles. Among the oldest pieces are finds from Shahr-i Sokhta, a city in eastern Iran dating to the 4th millennium BC, and a series of ceramic vases and terracotta figurines from an Iron Age necropolis in northwestern Pakistan.
