Beyond ordinary basketry



My parents love visiting the SF Asian Art Museum, and especially love the baskets.  I think my father returns home from visits with dozens and dozens of basket photos...  the collection is quite remarkable.

Really, I love the entire museum.  I loved the building when it was the SF Main Library; I love Gae Aulenti's revision of it to accommodate the Asian Art Museum; and I love the colors of the rooms, the contemporary art intermingled with the antique art that it is referencing; and the depth of the sculpture collection.  There is a lot to love!
