Freer Gallery of Art Featuring Asian Art

1050 Independence Avenue SW Southwest Washington DC 20024 +1 202 633 4880 http://www.asia.si.edu/

One of two Smithsonian museums that feature Asian art, the Freer Gallery houses more than 26,000 works from all points of the Asian continent, including China, Japan, Korea and India. These works include Asian porcelains, Japanese screens and Islamic art. The works of American artists influenced by the Orient are also featured. The most spectacular of these is James McNeill Whistler's Peacock Room, designed for a British shipping magnate and moved to the United States from London in 1904. Admission is free.
