    The Museo d'Arte Orientale Edoardo Chiossone in Genoa, Italy, houses an impressive collection of Asian art and artifacts. Visitors often appreciate the diverse range of Japanese artworks, including samurai armor, traditional paintings, and ancient ceramics. The museum's collection, largely assembled by Edoardo Chiossone during his time in Japan, offers insight into Japanese culture and history.

    Many reviewers note the museum's quiet and peaceful atmosphere, which allows for a contemplative experience while exploring the exhibits. The building itself, with its modern architecture, is often mentioned as an interesting contrast to the historical pieces it contains.

    Some visitors find the museum's layout and presentation style to be somewhat dated, and there are occasional comments about the need for more comprehensive English translations of exhibit descriptions. A few reviewers also mention that the museum is relatively small and can be explored thoroughly in a short amount of time.
