Basically and Asian Art Museum
Amazing time spent learning. I enjoyed the earthquake simulator and the Dark Universe show. Awesome technology, knowledgeable staff, great location and terrific cafeteria.
Visited during their opening weekend after being closed for remodeling. I found the museum to be really good! While the museum has two floors most of the art exhibits are on the top floor. The museum is a little different from other museums showcasing historical pieces in that the art is organized by 'theme' rather than country or time period. I really like this concept as this helps us appreciate how different Asian cultures and time periods took it upon themselves to worship, or dress themselves etc. There is also a library and several interactive rooms/exhibits on the lower floor. Overall the remodel has created a gorgeous museum well worth your visit! Expect to spend an hour if you blaze through things and several if you like to stop and read everything. Also while there is parking on site, it is not a large lot so be prepared to park outside of the park if it is busy/nice outside.
I went for the first time immediately after they reopened, post-renovation. Wonderful museum: great exhibits, thoughtfully arranged.
For an Asian art museum it is lacking a lot. When I say a lot, it's a lot. Majority of the art work you will find here are mainly Buddhism and Hinduism from China and India. A few pieces from Korea and Japan and that's pretty much it. This was my first time here so hopefully they'll have a more diverse collection from other parts of Asia. Overall, many of the pieces were still appreciated.
