An oriental collection consisting of paintings from China, Japan, Tibet and Bali offers a visual treat and are a tribute to the art and culture of these countries. The collection also includes unique copies of Indian mural paintings from pre-historic times down to the 18th Century. In 1874, the old Museum Building was demolished and foundation for the new building was laid. The new building was named after Lord Napier, the Governor of Madras from 1866-1872
The rooms of the villa are filled with different types of painting. i dont understand much about the paintings so it would not be correct to judge but yes the one who enjoys the paintings should definitely visit the place.
