I was very disappointed. I have been dying to go here for a year, but they have very limited hours. 6/person to get in. No parking. 1 SMALL room of artifacts and a \garden\. Its winter, so the garden was obviously dead. At the time I went they had an affair of some sort going on. The room reeked of onions, from the food. While attempting to take in the small room a lady was talking about getting their meeting started ... obviously high tailed it out of there cause AWKWARD... No reason to go back.

Open house New York DATE & TIME Saturday, October 19, 2019 1:00PM to 4:00PM Sunday, October 20, 2019 1:00PM to 4:00PM DESCRIPTION Nestled into the side of Lighthouse Hill, the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art was designed to resemble a Himalayan monastery. Jacques Marchais was inspired by the Chinese Lama Temple at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair to create a site where visitors could view the art in a contextual setting. Using photographs and illustrations from her rich collection of books about Tibet, Jacques Marchais, with Joseph Primiano, collected boulders from Staten Island to be used in the construction of the Museum. The high ceilings give the Museum the feel of a Tibetan chanting hall and it holds a collection of art and artifacts from Tibet, Nepal, northern China, and Mongolia. Outside, the building is surrounded by a meditation garden containing Tibetan and Himalayan plants.
