Seattle Asian Art Museum

Frommer's Review

Housed in an Art Deco building in Volunteer Park, the art collection at this museum places an emphasis on Chinese and Japanese art, but also includes works from Korea, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Himalayas. Among the museum's most notable pieces are Chinese terra-cotta funerary art, Chinese snuff bottles, and Japanese netsukes (belt decorations). Entire rooms are devoted to Japanese and Chinese ceramics. The central hall contains stone religious sculptures from South Asia (primarily India). The museum hosts frequent lectures and concerts.
