Though art and culture from New England is the main draw, expect art from around the world as well. Asian art - Korean, Japanese, and Indian together with African, Oceanic, and Native American art is showcased amidst historic houses and gardens. Yin Yu Tang, a Chinese house from the Qing dynasty is one of the attractions here. The Phillips Library, another period piece, has huge collections of manuscripts and documents relating to local history. Exhibitions, such as Hawthorne Bicentennial and The Kingdom of Siam have fascinated visitors. The Garden Restaurant and Atrium Cafe offer interesting bites.
