Reviews
Small and condenses museum. We went for the Meiji Modern exhibition. It was fantastic. There happened to be a guide touring and explaining each piece to a group so we heard stories on some pieces as well. Definitely looking forward to future exhibitions.
Great Museum! I absolutely loved the Meiji Restoration exhibition. It jad just enough of artefacts and information so as to be interesting and diverse but not overwhelming. I especially liked the hell courtisan part of the exposition. I really recommend this museum and I will be coming back for future exhibitions, especially if they are Japan related.
Also, I lesrned about the online website where we can find many future Asia related events in NYC.
Asia Society is a UES staple been coming here since I was a young weeb lad. Regular part of the UES museum day rotation - as with every other museum best enjoyed on a weekday morning when no one else is around :) I got a free tour!
A little smaller than I expected, but still a comprehensive display of Buddhist and Hindu art from around East and South Asia. There is a lot to see here, and you can see it all in a relatively short amount of time. I highly recommend the gift shop if you are at all interested in instruments or books or fabrics from around the region. There is a lot in that gift shop. If you are already interested in these elaborate, imaginative works of art, there is sure to be something to catch your attention, such as the grotesque yet fascinating works regarding Buddhist and Hindu concepts of hell that were showing while I was there.
I was really excited to visit this museum, but I was disappointed to learn that only one exhibit was open when I visited. Maybe I just came at a bad time, and I didn’t spend more than 15 minutes here.
The positive is that it’s free to visit, a short walk from the zoo, and the staff were super friendly.
Pretty small exhibition but curated for sure. Probably good to spend 1.5h here tops. Not too much to see. The bar on first floor is a great photo op location
'Meiji Modern, 50 Years of New Japan', a beautiful exhibit worth the visit.
A great museum with rotating exhibits. Informative lectures, too.
