ABOUT THE ASIAN ART MUSEUM

The Asian Art Museum thrives as a bridge of understanding between east and west, and closes the gap between different cultures. The building that currently houses the Asian Art Museum opened in 1917 as San Francisco’s Main Library. Designed by prominent local architect George Kelham, the building kept with the principles of beaux-arts architecture – mixing Greek, Roman, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. Currently, the AAM collection has approximately 18,000 works of art and artifacts from throughout Asia, some which go as far back as 6,000 years.
