Asia Society and Museum
Asia Society and Museum Review
The Asian art collection of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller III forms the core of the museum's 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 of traditional and contemporary art. Trees grow in the Garden Court Café, which serves an eclectically Asian menu for lunch and dinner.

bachslunch, from US
A very worthwhile small museum that concentrates on Rockefeller's collected Asian art, mostly sculpture and ceramics. High quality stuff. Has had its material out on loan to other museums and wasn't a functioning gallery at one point, not a great thing to find out on a spur-of-the-moment visit. Check to make sure it has exhibits available before going -- but if it does, it's very much worth seeing.
