Adventures in Asian art : an afternoon at the museum
(Book)

Follow three kids as they take an imaginative tour of Asian art through examples found in the Chong-Moon Lee Center for Asian Art and Culture at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. As the kids wander from exhibit to exhibit, they picture themselves in another time and place as they explore textiles, ceramics, statues, armor, and more. Along the way, they learn a little bit about the cultures, beliefs, and daily life that resulted in these wonderful works of art.

The Chong-Moon Lee Center for Asian Art and Culture at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco houses over 18,000 artifacts. This book features 53 of them, a sampling that traverses regions, time periods, and types of art. Twenty of the items are featured on two-age spreads that also follow three children who are touring the museum with their mother. As they picture themselves in another time and place, they learn a little bit about the cultures, beliefs, and daily life that resulted in these wonderful works of art.
