This place is over the top beautiful. Sheer magnificence!!! Just wandering around is a treat for the eyes and brings out the kid in all tourists.

Loved loved loved!

I was expecting much but boy was I wrong. There were so many beautiful pieces to enjoy, even my kids enjoyed the artwork. We joined part of a kid tour which made it even grander. I wish I had remembered the tour guides name because she was so great with the kids

Enjoyable viewing and learning of Asian culture through their art. Great place to have lunch while there especially the Bunh Mi sandwich. And you can't leave the museum shop without buying something.

This museum houses a lot of exhibits for history and culture. I love the ambiance and the overall theme inside it. The staffs are nice and they are very attentive to our needs.

One of the nation's preeminent collections from ancient to modern from all of Asia, with thoughtful seasonal exhibitions. Set in the rehabbed former main SF library, beautiful beaux arts structure facing civic center plaza. Parking across the street.

Unfortunately the day we visited the entire third floor was closed off and consequently so were the exhibits we were most interested in but it was a great trip nonetheless! Its really something else standing before artwork that was done over two thousand years ago. The guided tours add a little extra background to some pieces that you might not otherwise consider.

Honestly the most interesting museum I've been to in quite a while, and I have been to a few. there is a lovely balance between old and new art and plenty of information to appreciate it on a profound level. The ambience was really nice as well and through the strategic placement of chairs and benches there was the possibility to take in some of the highlights from a comfortable position.
