Introduction
The Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, opened in 1987, is the Smithsonian Institution's museum dedicated to Asian art, housed in an underground pavilion designed by John Russell Pope and connected to the Freer Gallery of Art. Its collection of more than forty thousand objects spans Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Southeast Asian, and Islamic art, including ancient Chinese bronzes, jades, calligraphy and painting, Japanese ukiyo-e prints, and Indian miniature paintings. Through rotating exhibitions, scholarly research, and public programs, the gallery systematically presents thousands of years of Asian artistic achievement to American audiences, serving as a vital bridge between Eastern and Western civilizations. Highlights include renowned Chinese jades and Dunhuang mural reproductions, while the clever subterranean design draws natural light through courtyards to create a serene viewing atmosphere.
