Positioned with one of the largest collections of Asian art in the United States, the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco has so much to offer, including galleries, interactive activities, lectures, and more. In 1966, the museum opened its doors to display its unique works, now numbering close to 15,000. With presentations that envelop historical timepieces, and artistic treasures from the past 6,000 years, the Asian Art Museum has come to represent an educational and world-renowned landmark for Oriental culture.
The Tea Ceremony is an excellent activity the museum offers for guests to enjoy the tastes and atmospheres of a large Japanese tradition while learning of the history and preparation of such events. Art classes are open for all ages to explore the mediums of the East. A vast array of literature courses and free lectures are offered for interested adults as well.
