Fodor's Expert Review Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art

Atop Lighthouse Hill sits this replica of a tranquil Tibetan monastery so impressive, it's listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Founded by an American collector of Tibetan art, it's partly a museum comprising a temple and a garden, holding her formidable collection of Tibetan and Himalayan sculpture, paintings, and artifacts. It's also an active community center for visitors to mediate, practice yoga or Tai Chi, or attend other events posted on their website's calendar. Views from their terrace truly transport you to another place, far from an urban center.
