I never knew there was a museum in downtown Pasadena. I love museums and this one was no exception. I enjoyed all of the displays and it was a shame that we didn't have an opportunity to view the jade display that was being prepared. The celadon artifacts were beautiful and how I wish I could have even a small collection of what I saw. I couldn't ignore visiting the gift shop and I'm glad I did because they too had a nice selection of cool stuff to buy. I held off buying the chopsticks and a fan, but I found the perfect origami book for my two younger sons. I just finished making an elephant 
I will be returning to PAM soon to make sure I tour the whole facility and bring along enough money to buy me a Cambodian straw purse.
