After three years and $54 million, Seattle's Asian Art Museum finally reopens to the public on Feb. 8, 2020. The renovation and expansion of the historic Art Deco building in Volunteer Park improved critical system, expanded gallery and education spaces, and added a new park lobby that connects the museum to the surrounding park.
Ping Foong and Xiaojin Wu are the main curators who gathered these amazing works of art, the collections are not organized by country or time period, instead by theme. These priceless pieces tell stories of life experiences from centuries ago that help shape our world today.
The renovation is exquisite and the new space allows for over-sized art to find a home here. The new collection installation hopes to reveals the complexity and diversity of the world’s largest continent.
While opening weekend is sold out, you can get tickets and check hours and times online.
