## Why go

You must take the guided tour through the buildings, which are given in plenty of foreign languages. Get there early to beat the heat – you may have to wait a half hour or so in the courtyard before a tour starts (not a maximum of 20 minutes as claimed). There are one seasonal opening cafe named Jim's Terrace, one restaurant named Swensen's and one shop selling silk products alongside.
