This underground museum's focus is the collection of early Chinese jades and bronzes donated by Arthur M. Sackler, a wealthy medical researcher and publisher. However, the museum houses a variety of Asian art dating as far back as 3000 BC. Displays of special note include Persian manuscripts, Indian paintings and Japanese prints. Works from China, Southeast Asia, Korea and Tibet are also featured. Concerts and art performances augment the visitor's tour. Admission is free. Review © 2009, Wcities |
