Holding nearly 15,000 Asian art treasures spanning 6,000 years of history, the Asian Art Museum is one of the largest museums in the Western world devoted exclusively to Asian art.
Once located in Golden Gate Park, the museum now resides at its new, expanded facility at Civic Center Plaza. An architectural gem featuring a dynamic blend of beaux arts and modern design elements, the museum’s new home is the result of a dramatic transformation of San Francisco’s former main public library building by renowned architect Gae Aulenti (designer of Paris’s Musée d’Orsay) into a showcase for the museum’s celebrated collection and exhibitions.
Location and admission:
200 Larkin Street, San Francisco, CA 94102
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with extended hours Thursdays until 9:00 PM. Closed Mondays.
Admission: $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, $6 for youths 12–17, and free for children under 12. Thursday evenings after 5 PM admission is just $5 for all visitors except members and those under 12, who are always admitted free.
