MUSÉE D’ART ORIENTAL-ASIATICA
The Asiatica Museum is an opportunity to discover Asian art in an enchanting atmosphere where a sweet perfume of the Orient reigns.
In Biarritz, the Musée Asiatica offers visitors the chance to discover Asian art in an enchanting atmosphere, with a gentle Oriental fragrance. In the half-light, the works on display retrace 4,000 years of history according to geographical region, and are organized in such a way as to enable visitors to discover the different cultures of these regions. With information sheets and books along the way, take the time to enrich your understanding and contextualize the works with the cultures of these periods. From India to China, via Tibet and Nepal, the collections bring together the riches of Asia in an educational way. The great museums of the world (Louvre, British Museum, Metropolitan Museum, Norton Simon, etc.) show admirable works from Greece, Italy, Egypt, India, etc., but out of context. At the Asiatica Museum, on the other hand, works of Asian art are displayed in culture-specific sections, with hundreds of objects grouped together at tables equipped with explanatory cards or books on the relevant culture. The Asiatica Museum is a unique place of knowledge and serenity. It is worth opting for headphones (French, English, Spanish) to better understand the scope of this rich art. Online ticketing is also available on the museum's website. A truly captivating visit.
