In the heart of Trieste, the Museum of Oriental Art invites you on a journey through the aesthetics and spirituality of China and Japan, among artworks, weapons, musical instruments, and age-old traditions.
Inaugurated in 2001, the Museum is housed in the 18th-century Palazzetto Leo, restored to its former splendor thanks to the support of the CRTrieste Foundation and the commitment of the Municipality of Trieste. Today, it is a landmark for discovering Oriental cultures.
