Veronica from Ukraine fell in love with Lacquerware and she is probably one of the world's most respected lacquerware artists. She has pioneered this social, not for profit business which we must all support. Prices are generally fixed and the money goes to the people she employs and these are poor village and town folks who have a lot of skill but if it wasn't for Black Elephant, they would not have an outlet. Lacquerware in Bagan is dominated by SIX families and there are pitfalls in buying from the standard tourist business that you guide will push you into. Instead, tell them you want to go to Black Elephant and meet Veronica and admire her passion and her fine work which has a genuine international market .This amazingly passionate lady is running a wonderful social enterprise. Do support her! The unique lacquerware you buy will forever remind you of the artistic ability of the Myanmar people channelled so selflessly.

This is well worth the drive from your hotel (45 minutes) remember to take your passport as you need to show this at the entrance to receive your day pass, free of charge then it's off to whatever military experience you like, aircraft are close to the entrance otherwise your driver with take you to one of several massive halls containing artifacts, most explanations are in Burmese but you get the understanding. You could easily spend all day going from hall to hall, check out the water fountain outside the aviation halls

I am a Museum junkie, and the Bagan Archaeological Museum did not disappoint. As a matter of fact, I went here twice during my three days exploring Bagan. This museum is mainly dedicated to cultural artifacts which center on the thousands of temples and pagodas built in the 9th-13th centuries. The numerous depictions of Buddha were breathtaking. This museum is a must see.
8. The Artists of Bagan
The beauty of Bagan extends beyond the breathtaking temples and into the homes of these local artists. Each one of these artists offers a unique perspective and artistic excellence that perfectly embodies the beauty of Bagan. With over two centuries of combined experience, these artists are true masters of their craft.
