The Palazzo Brancaccio was built between 1892 and 1895 as designed by Luca Carimini. It houses the Museo Nazionale D'Arte Orientale, which was founded in 1957 through an agreement between the Italian State and the Italian Institute for the Middle and Far East; the Museum, which is an Institute with special purposes for the Ministry of Artistic Heritage and Activity, carries out duties of protection on a national scale, by identifying, in collaboration with the territorial Offices, works of significant interest, to avoid the scattering of the collections and to increase the patrimony of the State through acquisitions, donations, bequests and deposits from other institutions and associations. The structure has a restoration laboratory, a photographic laboratory, a photographic archive, a library, an archive of the oriental collections in Italy with a wealth of photographic documentation and numerous catalogue files and a bioarchaeology service. It displays objects of art from the prehistoric age to modern times from the Asian regions between Iran and Japan, to which items relating to the Mediterranean regions of the Near East have just recently been added. The number of collections then increased with donations from private citizens and associations through exchanges with various Asian countries (Thailand, Pakistan, Korea, Japan) and the store of finds brought to light by Italian archaeological missions in Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan; the permanent exhibition is organized in the following sections: Ancient Near and Middle East, Islam, India, Gandhara, Tibet and Nepal, Southeastern Asia and Far East and the items collected include ceramics and porcelain, metals, sculptures in different materials, glass, paintings, fabrics, weapons, votive and ritual objects, furnishings jewels, furniture and books. The section dedicated to India features the famous "Scorretti Marble" from the Hindu-shahi period (VIII-IX century) representing the goddess Durga taming the buffalo demon, the three stele in dark stone from the Pala period (VIII-XII century) and some bronzes from southern India, including the image of dancing Siva from the Cola age .
