Asian art collections across the ASEMUS network
ASEMUS — the Asia-Europe Museum Network — brings together museums that care for Asian collections on both continents. Its 177 member organisations span 42 countries and regions: national museums in Singapore, Malaysia and Korea, ethnographic museums in Sweden, Germany and Poland, and European art museums whose Asian holdings sit alongside their regional collections.
The profiles below describe what each museum holds, how its collection was formed and what visitors can see today. 45 museums have a full profile on this site; the rest are listed in the members directory.
