Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art

We're committed to preserving, exhibiting, researching and interpreting art in ways that deepen our collective understanding of Asia and the world. 

Located on the National Mall in Washington, DC, we are stewards of more than 45,000 objects--one of North America’s largest and most comprehensive collections of Asian art, with works dating from antiquity to the present from China, Japan, Korea, South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Islamic world.
