It's not visible from any road, although friends, neighbors, and colleagues of the owners know about it. A lush garden surrounds it, with architectural findings, statues, glorious flower beds, and koi ponds. This small private museum on Nantucket includes over 1,000 objects spanning 5,000 years, all from the owner's collection of Asian art gathered from around the world over 40 years.
This Thursday you can tour this hidden gem with its owners as tour guides. Tickets with box lunch and a glass of wine are just $25, but to attend you'll have to join the beneficiary organization of the tour, Nantucket Lightship Basket Museum. Feel protected sitting between barkless foo dogs or find good luck and happiness under the red Chinese gate.
