Journey through Asia offers fresh ways to enjoy the Asian Gallery, which showcases a diverse collection of Asian artworks and artifacts. Each year, this event presents a theme that brings together objects from various times and places across Asia.
The 11th installment of Journey through Asia is “Asia in Style.” Join us on a journey through the world of fashion and style, featuring clothing and accessories, depictions of fashion in paintings and sculptures, and decorative arts for everyday life. As you stroll through the galleries, you'll explore the fascinating styles of Asia as if embarking on a voyage across space and time.
We hope the Asian Gallery connects you with Asian cultures and broadens your view of the world.
