Asia Society Museum

Asia Society Museum, located on Park Avenue and 70th Street in New York City, organizes groundbreaking exhibitions of both traditional and contemporary Asian and Asian American art.

The Museum is known for its permanent collection of masterpiece-quality works, the core of which was gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd. The collection, universally described as "gemlike," includes objects from cultures across the world that date from the eleventh century BCE to the nineteenth century CE. It has particular strengths in Chinese ceramics of the Song and Ming periods, Chola-period Indian bronzes, and Southeast Asian sculptures.

Asia Society Museum was one of the first American museums to establish a program of contemporary Asian art in the early 1990s. A recognized leader in identifying and fostering contemporary Asian and Asian American artists, the Museum announced the establishment of a contemporary art collection in 2007.
