National Museum of Asian Art Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Sackler Art Museum and the Freer Art Museum are two museums equally famous for their oriental art treasures, and the underground exhibition halls of each other are also connected. The Sackler Museum of Art is a privately donated exhibition hall by medical scientist Arthur M. Sackler, which displays more than 1,000 pieces of East Asian art treasures from his collection. The regular exhibits here include bronze statues of the Han Dynasty, Buddha statues, stone carvings of the Tang Dynasty, jade, porcelain and some literati painting and calligraphy. The art museum will also hold some special exhibitions from time to time. It once held the original photo exhibition of the Empress Dowager Cixi and the exhibition of Buddhist grottoes in Xiangtangshan in the Northern Qi Dynasty. When we visit here, it seems that we have traveled to the distant ancient times. The Chinese culture that runs through 5,000 years of ancient and modern times is vividly presented in front of us in Washington, and we may have some feelings and helplessness.

The Freer Gallery houses one of the premier collections of Asian art with magnificent statues of Buddhas and objects. It has glorious colourful gardens and located on the National Mall.
The gallery, funded by Sackler, is a great place to recommend, with a small but beautiful collection of oil paintings and sculptures. Take a stroll to see each beautiful painting on the wall, and feel the story and the artist's thinking.
The paintings are very artistic and worth a slow visit.
The Seckler Gallery is connected to the Forrell Art Gallery and is a museum hosted by the Smithsonian Institution. Its main exhibits are Asian art, mainly statues. Building on more than 1,000 exhibits donated by Mr. Sekler and $4 million, the gallery is now more abundant and often hosts special exhibitions on the theme of art in different Asian countries, which are worth visiting.
The Sekler Art Museum is a privately donated art gallery by Arthur M. Sekler, which displays more than 1,000 pieces of East Asian art treasures, including bronze statues, Buddha statues, stone carvings, jade, porcelain and some literati calligraphy and paintings in the Han Dynasty in China. This museum will also hold some special art exhibitions from time to time, which is more artistic and academic. I saw a few words of Sackler at the entrance of the museum, and immediately thought that Peking University also has a Sackler Museum. It is estimated that the medical scientist also contributed.
