Museum Provenance

Some of the world’s most esteemed Asian art is curated at our Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. Their highly prized collections of cloisonné, illustrated haiku, porcelain, textiles and Buddhist art inspired the thoughtful gifts, artworks and clothing we present on these pages.

Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
