USC Pacific Asia Museum

The USC Pacific Asia Museum, located in Los Angeles, is one of the few institutions in the United States dedicated to the art and culture of Asia and the Pacific Islands. Housed in a building that evokes the grandeur of a Chinese imperial palace, the museum’s architecture is as captivating as its collections. Within its walls, visitors can explore over 5,000 years of history through a diverse array of art objects, including Japanese paintings from the Edo Period, South Pacific bark cloths, and Buddhist art from across Asia. This unique space offers a rich and immersive experience for those interested in the cultural heritage of the region.
