Highlights of Chinese Art
The continuous culture and artistic history in China spans over five thousand years to the present day. This selection illustrates the innovation and transformation in Chinese art, from Neolithic jades and ritual bronzes of the Bronze Age to ceramics, lacquer ware, furniture, and textiles of the pre-modern era, and contemporary painting.
Highlights of Himalayan, South, and Southeast Asian Art
From Turkey to Tibet, Sri Lanka to Singapore, and ancient to contemporary, Mia’s permanent collection includes fine examples of the dynamic arts of these diverse regions. Our collection has been over a century in the making and continues to grow.
Highlights of Japanese Art: Paintings and Prints
Mia’s collection of Japanese paintings and prints is expansive and full of gems. Due to their fragility, however, they can only be on view for short periods of time. But they are always on view on our website! Here are some of our finest examples.
Highlights of Korean Art
Korean artists worked in dialogue with the artworks from China and Japan while also forging rich and distinctive artistic tradition.
