Seattle Asian Art Museum presents art from across Asia in an Art Deco building within Volunteer Park.
Its galleries bring objects, materials and cultural histories into conversation, while the building itself marks the original home of Seattle Art Museum before its downtown expansion.
Museum admission and opening days are separate from general park access. Check current exhibitions and ticket arrangements before traveling, particularly for special programs or group visits. Use the East Prospect Street museum address within Volunteer Park. The downtown Seattle Art Museum and Olympic Sculpture Park are different visitor sites with their own arrangements.
