In our series of highlighting Scholars Resource's vendors, we would like to present the second contributor of images: CDR-1140: Highlighting Scholars Resources' vendors: ASIAN ART MUSEUM The Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, one of the largest museums in the western world devoted exclusively to Asian art and culture, is based largely on the donation of works to the city of San Francisco from the collector Avery Brundage of Chicago. Opened in 1966 as a wing of the de Young Memorial Museum in Golden Gate Park, the growing collection prompted its move to the former San Francisco city library building in 2003. The Beaux Arts style library building was renovated for the purpose under the direction of Italian architect Gae Aulenti with an open, sky-lit interior. The museum's collection includes works of art and artifacts from all major Asian countries and traditions, with 2,500 works on permanent display. Scholars Resource is pleased to offer over 1,600 images from the museum collection.
