Asia Society and Museum
725 Park Avenue (at 70th Street)
Manhattan

Presents changing exhibits on Asian art and culture, often based on the Asia Society's collection of nearly three hundred works of art, much of which was donated by Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd. The collection includes masterworks from South, Southeast, and East Asia, dating from 2000 B.C. to the 19th century, all displayed in recently renovated galleries. To learn more about what is currently showing, visit the Society's web site.

While you're there, don't miss lunch (or dinner on Fridays) in the Garden Court Cafe. This glass-enclosed, sky-lit space is flooded with light and features art installations, plus romantic flowering vines and trees. The Garden Court lobby also serves as a venue for informal performances, readings, discussions with artists, and other special events. We also love the new AsiaStore, which highlights items related to current exhibitions and has one of the largest collections of Asia-related books we've seen.
