Asia Society and Museum
Museums / Galleries, Upper East Side
Fodor's Review:
The Asian art collection of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller III forms the museum's major holdings, which include South Asian stone and bronze sculptures; art from India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Afghanistan; bronze vessels, ceramics, sculpture, and paintings from China; Korean ceramics; and paintings, wooden sculptures, and ceramics from Japan. Founded in 1956, the society has a regular program of lectures, films, and performances, in addition to changing exhibitions. Trees grow in the Garden café, which serves an eclectically Asian menu for lunch and dinner.
