The Center's collections include hundreds of objects covering a wide range of media and a broad geographical area. These items were chosen for their historical importance, cultural significance and aesthetic appeal.
They include musical instruments, jade and ivory carvings, Tibetan ritual objects, and many other items that reveal facets of traditional Asian civilizations — such as Asian ceramics, paintings, prints, sculpture, textiles and much more.
