Freer Gallery
The National Museum of Asian Art consists of the Freer and
Sackler Galleries. I was more interested in the Freer Gallery
and did not visit the Sackler Gallery even though it was right next door -
so many museums, so little time. The Freer Gallery has major exhibits
of art from the Indian Subcontinent, Islamic World, Japan, Korea, China,
and American Painters.
