Go early and explore the Buddhist exhibit in the basement and the gorgeous Peacock RoomUpvoted Mar 5- Gaurav BansalFebruary 17, 2017I go there for the special exhibits but permanent collection is also quite good.
Brian T.July 13, 2015The Peacock Room Remix is really well done. Very jarring and dissonant compared to the original- George ZinkgrafApril 4, 2016Paintings and sculptures are a fantastic representation of oriental art.
MarkMarch 19, 2011Everything in the gift shop is currently 75% off. Asian style posters for $1.25 each. Mini prints for 10 cents. Can't beat that.
