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. (January 2013)
