The Marble Palace is still owned by the original family, who open it to the public for tours. One interesting consequence of this is that priceless works of art (Rubens, Titian, etc.) share space on the wall with tchotchkes and trinkets accumulated over the years. There is also a small animal menagerie and temple on the grounds — a unique piece of history that does a better job of providing context than most museums

I think this looks more like eclectic classical with indian elements. Quite common in late 19th Century.
