Stop At: Yangon Region, Yangon Region
Burmese craftsmanship has long been recognized as one of the world’s great aesthetic traditions. Religious and secular objects, combined with a rich tradition of folk art, makes shopping at the hard-to-find exclusive antiques shops our tours patronize, as well as at more accessible local markets, a true museum tour experience. Authentic pieces are typically priced far below world norms, from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, reflecting decades removed from the international antiques market.
Intricately-carved teak furniture, traditional ceramics and woodwork, exquisite heirloom gemstone rings, silver engraved musical instruments and prestige household treasures, the list is virtually endless. Whether you are a sophisticated collector/dealer, or just interested in the traditions of a rich culture, this tour is sure to satisfy. All establishments we patronize have long experience in shipping worldwide.
