On the way back home after I drove my husband to his office in the morning, an idea of having a fun just came up in my mind. I've known there are some little but nice museums which are used to be ones private residence near his office. The one I visited is the museum that was once a residence of a Japanese ceramics exporter who made his fortune in the middle of the 19th century.Japanese- and Western-style buildings are preserved on a large block of land, plus two storehouses—one in the west and the other in the east—a tea room, and a garden. The other day I visited here, they displayed the Christmas dinner table settings in the Japanese -style rooms. It was a good combination of the western and the eastern different culture.

Wow, I checked out the museum link, and the house looks like the houses around here. It's cool that it mixes the eastern and western culture.
Very special houses at your place :-)
I am waiting on your Christmas post
I want to see how it is in your country :-)
Checking this out.... and it looks GREAT! How lucky you are to live in a place with so much cultural wealth. I miss Madrid and Amsterdam and Glasgow. Malaysian museums are just not up to par.
I simple adore zen Japanese garden...I miss Japan!
