Art and artefacts from Asia and the Pacific Rim are displayed in the historic Grace Nicholson Building, a re-creation of a northern Chinese palace with a charming Chinese Garden Court to match. Taken from the museum's collection of 14,000 items, the permanent displays include both contemporary and traditional Asian arts; they're supplemented by temporary shows, which tend to run for roughly four months at a time. Look out for special events.
