Asian Art Museum - Extensive Asian Art Collection

The Asian Art Museum in San Francisco holds one of the most comprehensive collections of Asian art outside Asia, with a collection numbering in the tens of thousands and spanning several millennia and multiple cultural regions. Housed since 2003 in the former San Francisco Main Library building, the museum's exhibitions and study collections emphasize historical breadth and cultural diversity across Asia. The institution is a major public repository for Asian visual culture and scholarship in the United States.
