The building itself is great. There is lots of information about Buddhism. If one is interested in textiles, there are so much about textiles in the exhibits on the 1st floor. One can also learn about farming tools.

Visited the folklife museum today, what an interesting collection of folklife exhibits, from fabrics, local customs, farming tools and practices including local religious beliefs and traditions. What a hidden gem of a museum, not to be missed.
