impressive collection of over 2,500 state gifts and awards presented to the

during his tenure.
 An example of a piece to note is the two portraits of the Prime minister and
his wife displayed on the right side upon entering the gallery. They look
like an ordinary painting but upon closer inspection, you'll find that it's
actually embroidery done using horse and goat hair. One section is devoted
to gifts made of wood, leather, crystal and lacquer, as well as musical
instruments and stone objects.
Another section comprises textiles, games, weaponry, ceramics, plaques and
Islamic art.
