#Asian Art Museum

[tricerabeth]

I'm visiting DC and here I will share some photos from a special exhibit "staging the supernatural ". It was a nice collection of woodblock prints showing scenes and actors from kabuki and Noh plays.

I was able to tell my family a brief summary of some of the stories, or explain some other details not mentioned in the wall description. More photos coming.

In a Sea of Stolen Artifacts, What Is the Role of the Museum?

via The San Francisco Standard, 21 February 2023: The discussion of the role of museums in the supply chain of looted artefacts. Unsurprisingly, Douglas Latchford comes up again, but there are also mentions of artefacts from Thailand and Papua New Guinea.

USC Pacific Asia Museum, 46 North Los Robles Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91101

I visited the Pacific Asia Art Museum a few years ago, during ArtNight, and returned again during another ArtNight. I don’t think anything in the permanent collection changed between the two visits. But there is a gallery with rotating exhibits. During my recent visit, they had an exhibit of current Chinese American artists called Another Beautiful Country. It was a multimedia exhibit with quite a few video art installations, b/w family photos taken in China, a display of objects and menus from the artist’s mom’s Chinese restaurant, etc.

The permanent collection has pottery, a Samurai outfit, Indian illustrated manuscripts, wood objects from Papua New Guinea, Chinese furniture and clothing, Korean masks, etc. There’s a room with interactive exhibits for kids, and a small gift shop.

It's a small museum but the building (resembling a Chinese imperial palace) is stunning. It’s a historic landmark that was built in 1926. The Chinese garden/inner courtyard features a small pool and decorative carvings. Unfortunately, the public isn’t allowed upstairs.

General admission is $15, $12 for students and senior, and free on the second Sunday of the month. Every Thursday is a pay what you wish day.

Norton Simon is a much bigger museum with much more Asian art. But Pacific Asia Art Museum has a wider variety of Asian art objects and has contemporary Asian art. Norton Simon does not.
