Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art

The Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art is a museum in Staten Island that has one of the country's biggest collections of Himalayan artifacts. The museum was originally constructed to look like a traditional rustic Himalayan monastery. The grounds include terraced gardens and ponds with focus and lotus. In 1991, the Dalai Lama visited the museum and noted its authenticity. Here are some of the "must see" items at Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art.
