We recently went to specifically see the Terra Cotta Warriors. Outstanding! We particularly enjoyed how well they used this exhibit to inform us about the early history of China and how this compared to other earlier, contemporary, and later empires around the world. They also provided a fascinating story of the First Emperor, in whose tomb these artifacts were found,... More

This is a wonderful museum so plan on spending some time. If you see the Terra Cotta Warriors before that exhibit leaves, be sure to take one of the docent-led tours, as not only are they free but you have the opportunity to ask questions. There are so many interesting things here to see and photograph!

It was loud, people constantly bumping into you and you had to jockey for position to read the small signs placed low on the wall/displays. There... More

This exhibit was beautiful, informative and manageable. I was so sorry I did not allow more time to explore the rest of this gorgeous museum--- will definitely be back to see more.

The Asian Art Museum is featuring the exhibit until May 27th. We have been unable to get in to see this exhibit at two other museums in the US. It lived up to our expectations which were high. Go early and see the rest of this gem of a museum. The Buddha sections is especially good. Selections from all major... More
