I would very strongly recommend the Gökyay Chess Museum in Ankara, Turkey, if anyone is ever there.

Somewhat unexpectedly, I thought it was one of the best museums I've ever visited in my life. It's the world's largest collection of chess sets, and is basically a museum of the chess set as an artistic genre, not of chess as a game. As you can see a bit from this site too, the artistic genre is quite broad and deep.

In the Gökyay Museum there were lots of questions raised by this genre:

* What historical events do people feel comfortable treating as distant history, versus something that you have to show respect or deference about?

* How would you make a chess set for blind players?

* Do chessboards have to be physically flat, not just topologically two-dimensional? Do they have to be horizontal rather than vertical?

* What events or activities can be metaphorically represented as a "battle"?

* How would different sculpture and painting traditions from around the world translate into a highly stylized chess set? How about different availability of materials?

* How do commercial marketing and pop culture leak into the comparatively culturally elite or refined realm of chess?

Anyway, it's just awesome and you should definitely go if you can.
