Not so good!
Not so good as it does NOT depict the whole culture of all Asia! Mostly statues, but almost "NO ART" work!????! Once was enough, and it is free on the first Tues. or Wed. of the month! I have no need to go again! Boooo

A Definite Asian Experience!
If it can be painted, sculpted, or carved...you'll find it here. You can trace the advancements of the Asian culture through its art. This was a very educational experience that I won't soon forget. There was an extremely interesting display centered around the Chinese New Year and the Chinese Zodiac. I highly recomend to everyone!

Opposite of De Young
Over Christmas '05 Holidays we went both to the De Young and the Asian Art Museum. Somewhat appropriate since they used to be connected. Of course now, they are separated by miles and by museum presentation philosphy. My relatives much preferred this musuem because of the linear approach to the collection. I thought this was ok, but my main gripe was in the slightly bland presentation of the materials, at least as compared to the Sackler and Freer in DC. At the time of my visit there was a spectacular display of screens in the lobby galleries and the cafe had a great choice of asian-inspired dishes. I probably won't go again except for a unique exhibit.
