This building was meticulously restored by Wolfgang Preuß, who preserved its original character while equipping it with modern facilities.

The Buddha Museum's collection is diverse and extensive. It includes figures from a range of countries including Burma, China, India, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. These figures, made from various materials, represent different eras, providing a comprehensive overview of Buddhist iconography.
