Bush extended the celebration to continue through the month. The Asian-Pacific region covers the continent of Asia and the Pacific Islands including the regions of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. Main Floor Display Case Batik fabric from Bali, carved ivory from China, enamelware from Thailand and contemporary Japanese ceramics in traditional style are a few of the colorful objects in our main floor display case.

Stop by and view the lovely collection of oriental art objects.
