This museum houses the largest collection of Asian art in the West, with 14,000 treasures representing over 40 Asian countries spanning 6,000 years of history. The Avery Brundage Collection alone represents more than 50 percent of the museum's artifacts.
Also among the permanent gallery are more than 1,200 Chinese jade objects, from the Neolithic period through the 20th century. Museum guests will also be able to view Chinese and Buddist Arts with more than 100 bronzes and sculpture, including the Money Tree, a rare bronze funerary object from the second and third centuries CE.
Visitors should take note that only 15 percent of the entire collection is on view at any one time and works rotate often. The museum is fully wheelchair accessible and a limited number of wheelchairs are available without charge at the museum entrance.
