Arthur M. Sackler Gallery

NATIONAL MALL. Physician Arthur Sackler was fascinated by all things Asian, and the museum that bears his name is a magnificent showcase for the works that he painstakingly collected. Highlights of Sackler's collection include Chinese jades and bronzes, while the Vever Collection consists of an extremely rare collection of Islamic manuscripts from the 11th century through the 19th century. Japanese prints and portraits are also presented here, and the ImaginAsia program brings the East to life for children of all ages. METRO: Smithsonian
