The Nelson-Atkins Museum here in Kansas City has an excellent Oriental collection, complete with several of these pottery buildings. I guess I didn't realize that they were funerary items, though.

The most amazing piece in the entire collection, IMHO, is this one... http://www.nelson-atkins.org/collect...l/bodhisat.htm

It is especially well-situated in the museum, and is an wonderful place for contemplation and introspection. Very, very nice energy there. However, the museum is currently undergoing a major construction and revamping project, and this wonderful statue may be moved. I sincerely hope not, because it is just too perfect as it is.

And, just so you know that I'm not *too* new-agey and all Pagan weird, here's my very favorite piece in the whole gallery, by our own local boy Thomas Hart Benton:
