Known forartmuseumCapitol HillVolunteer Park
Housed in a stunning 1933 Art Deco building in Volunteer Park, this SAM satellite focuses exclusively on Asian art spanning thousands of years across multiple cultures. The reinstalled galleries after a major renovation are thoughtfully curated and rarely overcrowded, making it a genuinely contemplative experience. Don't miss the Japanese netsuke collection and the serene sculpture garden outside. Caveat: hours are limited (closed Monday and Tuesday), so check before going.
