 Asian
Art Museum of San Francisco |
The Asian Art Museum of San Francisco is the largest museum in the western
world devoted exclusively to Asian art with the permanent collections of
more than 12,000 objects representing over 40 Asian countries. The Museum
regularly organizes major international exhibitions, and presents frequent
educational programs celebrating Asian arts and cultures. Currently located
in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, as a result of a bond measure passed
by votes in 1994, the Asian is scheduled to relocate to the Old Main Library
building at Civic Center in late 2000.
