The Asian Art Museum, in a gem of an Art Deco building that was erected in 1933 and that's located in bucolic Volunteer Park, is currently temporarily closed for a $49 million renovation project and is reopening on February 8, 2020. Its collections of Asian art have been the single greatest draw for scholars and admirers of art to Seattle, with works spanning centuries and mediums and originating in China, Japan, India, Korea, Southeast Asia, the Himalayas, the Philippines, and Vietnam.
