The exhibits on display are part of Stefano Cardu's collection of Siamese and Oriental art, which he gathered during the long period he spent in present-day Thailand. When he returned to Cagliari, he donated the collection to the city. It includes precious pottery; various objects made of ivory, among which some Japanese miniature statues representing social stereotypes and dragons; silver jewellery; weapons, such as daggers, swords and spears; paintings and furniture. Currently on display is also a private collection of Burmese art, especially wood statues.
