One day we visited the Arthur Sackler Museum. My Brother had been there years ago. We took the metro there on a very chilly day. The artifacts were from all regions of Eastern Asia. Many were made from jade, bronze, gold, and silver. They had some artifacts classified as ceremonial. And an interesting group of intricate watercolors were on display that the ancients used to foretell their next goal or announcement. There were many carved jade jewelry pieces. The museum began it's exhibit by a collection made from Mr. Sackler who apparently had traveled abroad many times.
This museum was adjacent to the Freer Art Museum as well and we had time to visit it. It showed much more recent paintings and we moved quickly through it.
