This little museum is absolutely packed with information. By the time one is done, one realizes that it is, in fact, a very large museum. It's like a magic box. There is a definite recognition that Asian art is not just Japanese or Chinese, but a full spectrum. The orientation sets that up by teaching a bit of geography and... More

We visit this museum every few months, since the exhibits change frequently. The museum is in a restored building with a pretty courtyard with Koi pond. The ceramic section including the Emperors ceramics is amazing. The location is great, after a one hour walk through the museum there are dozens of great restaurants close by for a weekend lunch.

The displays are well organized and attractive and very informative. Definitely worth a visit. (The museum... More

There are artifacts from India, China, Nepal, Tibet, New Guinea, Thailand, Korea, Japan, etc. There are lots of Buddha statues and statues of Indian gods (some very... More

This is a beautiful albeit intimate museum with a lovely collection, great gift shop and a peaceful courtyard with koi. A nice collection of Indian, Chinese, Korean and Japanese work with pieces from additional Pacific-rim countries.

The Los Angeles area has hundreds of museums, but only one dedicated to the whole of Asian art. The building is in a square configuration with an attractive courtyard at the center and a series of connected galleries circling it. As the visitor proceeds through the galleries, he or she passes through art from different parts of Asia. About midway... More
