I took my infant son to the museum since we have been cooped up for months. It felt so nice to get out and get some culture. The museum is spotless and feels very very safe. The staff takes the guidelines very seriously which I really appreciated. The exhibits were fascinating and beautiful.

Museum covers at least 6,000 years of art & culture from across Asia. Great if you are in Civic Center/ Downtown

Wanted to like it- we spent many hours at the De Young museum -simply dazzled. Checked out the Asian Art Museum and found it just wasn't our cup of tea

Great Museum even for kids! The first Sunday of the month is FREE! The food in the cafe is good and the gift shop is extensive! Now for the tips: I observed a wonderful art class for children and schedules for future ones. Check them out. The other amazing interactive activity for kids of all ages was a digital aquarium where you are given paper with an outline of an aquatic animal to color and then your art piece is scanned and appears floating on the wall. Beyond fun and amazing to see this!! We took a free tour of the architectural history of the building that was fascinating. There are videos explaining some objects. But my favorite was how to dress an elephant! This museum is good even if you know nothing about Asian Art. You will enjoy it!…
