Seattle Asian Art Museum, 1400 E. Prospect St. (in Volunteer Park), ☎ 206-654-3100, [2]. Wed–Sun 10 AM–5 PM, Thu 10 AM–9 PM, closed Mon and Tue. An offshoot of downtown's Seattle Art Museum, SAAM displays a portion of the permanent collection balanced with rotating, consistently well-curated special exhibitions. The focus is usually on Chinese or Japanese art, where the collection reflects long-established ties across the Pacific, but does include works from as far as India. The Art Deco building (SAM's original home) is an attraction in its own right. $5 (some special exhibitions may be higher, usually $7); free the first Thursday of every month.
