Asian Art Museum – Free Admission Day

May 5, 2024 @ 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

Asian Art Museum San Francisco

The Asian Art Museum is a perennial favorite in San Francisco. The museum is home to one of the world’s finest collections of Asian art, boasting more than 18,000 awe-inspiring artworks ranging from ancient jades and ceramics to contemporary video installations.

The current highlight of the museum is Phoenix Kingdoms: the Last Splendors of China’s Bronze Age beckons audiences in through a jagged, gallery-spanning portal, on the other side of which a realm of treasures from a lost civilization awaits. At the Asian Art Museum April 19 – July 22, 2024, Phoenix Kingdoms showcases more than 150 works from China’s most important new archaeological discoveries in exciting new ways that activate the senses, invite interaction, and put visitors at the center of the story.
