Seattle Asian Art Museum

I visited this place a long time ago with my sister. Everything was so green and beautiful, perfect for a walk. Unfortunately, the museum was closed, so we couldn’t go inside. Overall, the park is and museum wonderful and full of vibrant colors, especially in the fall. It’s a great spot to enjoy nature and take in the scenery!😍😍😍🔥

A nice museum dedicated to Asian art. There are a collection of religious artefacts from Buddhism and Hinduism, a collection of pottery from Korea, and other various artifacts and artwork, mostly from China, Japan, Korea, and India. The building is also has character, although it doesn't look so from the outside. You can buy tickets at the counter, although the prices are only suggested values, meaning you can pay less if you can't afford the suggested amount. They have cloak room, free lockers as well. You can spend a decent 1.30 to 2 hrs exploring the exhibits.

We enjoyed the galleries and about an hour. (At least one area was closed) The art deco building and modern addition were beautiful in their own right. The Asian art displayed throughout was a true bonus. Wonderful gallery dedicated to the Buddha. Interesting pieces throughout. Sadly, no Mongolian art on display. We booked tickets through the Seattle Public Library, so it didn’t cost us anything to visit. Free parking right out front.

Beautiful museum, really well organized and curated. I especially loved the spirituality section because that's my jam, and the dark room where you can sit with the Buddha statues and meditate if you want, or just rest your legs somewhere quiet too.

An excellent choice for a rainy Friday afternoon but likely good in all seasons. A lot of sculpture, and pottery but my favorite pieces were the scrolls and primitives. My surprise: I learned Kwan Yin/Guanyin was originally male—manifesting as female in the West.

LOVE this museum. Great exhibit with variety of arts and mediums ranging from old ruins fragments, religious statues to ceramics and fabric goods. The area is super nice as well, situated within the evergreen tall pine/fir trees of the Volunteer Park. Staff were amazing and very friendly, they helped us store our luggage downstairs when we visit the exhibit upstairs. Since my flight was in the evening, I didn’t wanna miss visiting the museum before going home. 120% recommend if you love art or just to know more about Asian Arts/history in general. Nice place to wind down as well. After visit, if interested, there is Bruce & Brandon Lee grave site close by, just keep walking north. The graveyard is well maintain and you can see the PNW Mountain Cascade since it’s on top of the hill.

Calm and very pleasant museum. Small building with exhibits that do their best to display ancient and modern art, while highlighting the impossibility of showcasing all asiatic cultures.

Lovely pint sized museum, very well organized and chill, I went through in about an hour. Not a lot of parking (and I was taking the bus anyway), but on a good day the view of the city is fab.
