Review:
The Asian Art Museum of San Francisco is home to one of the world's most comprehensive collections of Asian art, showcasing more than 18,000 artworks and artifacts. The museum was founded in 1958 as the Society for Asian Art to preserve the collections of Chicago millionaire Avery Brundage and originally opened as a display within the city's de Young Museum before expanding to its own facility in 2003 within the city's former central library building. Its collections span all of Asia's major regions and traditions from antiquity to the present day, including gallery collections of works from China, Japan, Korea, the Himalayas, South Asia, and Central Asia. Visitors can explore the museum for free as part of Target's First Free Sundays initiative on the first Sunday of each month, though some special exhibitions require a ticketed upcharge.
