It also gains improved lighting, state-of-the art display cases and other requisites of a modern museum. Yet elegant details of the 19th century mansion remain: oak parquet floors, decorative ceiling moldings and the original majestic staircase that leads to an upper-floor gallery decorated with bronze Japanese animals.
