Seattle Asian Art Museum (Volunteer Park)

The building in Volunteer Park opened in 1933 as the original Seattle Art Museum and was designed by architect Carl F. Gould in an Art Deco/Moderne-influenced style. It has housed the city's Asian art collection since the 1990s and has undergone renovations to preserve historic elements while updating gallery spaces. The museum's hilltop siting within Volunteer Park makes it a visible example of early 20th-century civic architecture in Seattle.
