Phil AucuttOctober 28, 2013The Korean Art exhibit going on now through January 12, 2014 is pretty amazing, and worth the admission.

AminaOctober 21, 2009The docents give detailed, interesting tours for free, and the cafe has a good selection of loose leaf teas to try out!
andrea wilsonMarch 12, 2016Interactive aspects are cool and rare for Asian Art Museums which typically use traditional methods to feature ancient art. Free community days are awesome since adult admission is usually $25 each.
Pride Day admission special! Only $5 and includes Bali special exhibit!
