I went on a Friday (free admissions) but the front desk and everyone was super amazing and friendly! I loved the collections too, the exhibition currently on is called \u201cBuddha and Shiva, Lotus and Dragon\u201d and the first floor had a stunning collection of Boddhisatvas and Buddhism\/ Hinduism and Ganesha\/ Shiva! The second floor was an awesome collection of ceramic, art, textiles, clay, and other ceramics from China, Tibet, Mongolia, Pakistan, India, and other South Asian cultures\/ countries. As a south Asian and Hindu myself who loves learning about different cultures\/ traditions\/ customs and more, I enjoyed this exhibition! Highly recommend to others who love exploring South Asian culture\/ religions","rating":5,"time_description":"2 months ago"},{"author":"Glenn C","text":"Major note- It's hard to say in general if it's worth it, outside of the wonderful gift shop, as there isn't really a permanent collection on display, unlike most other museums. I would recommend checking online what the current exhibits are or if there's any special event, prior to going here. Regardless of going to the museum, the gift shop is really nice and heavily recommended, and they have a quaint little cafe with Asian inspired food options.\n\nPrice: $15 for adults, $10 for seniors\/children, and free for members\/people under 16\nAmount of time: ~2-2.5 hours. More if you want to watch all the short films\n\nI have been to this small museum on Park Avenue a handful of times. The place consists of a few floors, accessible via a beautiful staircase or an elevator, with the main floor having an excellent gift shop, a small cafe, a tiny amount of stuff from other exhibitions, and stairs downstairs to go to their theater, which has rotating interesting movies mostly from years ago from a variety of Asian countries, of course. The second floor has the largest section, and either has one large exhibition, or the first\/larger half of an exhibition continued upstairs, along with a little theater showcasing short films. The third floor has the remaining half, or other new exhibits, and another room, which is smaller.\n\nThe most recent time I went there was a week ago. The main exhibition, split between two floors, was Buddha and Shiva, Lotus and Dragon, which appropriately has 70 of their finest works as it is celebrating their 70th anniversary. As can be seen in the photos, this ranged from statues and other relics to beautiful ceramics, among other things. There was also a small section including contributions from Blanchette Rockefeller, and a small collection of recent acquisitions on the third floor. The current short film series is Busy Busy Towns, an alright showcase of stop motion and short documentaries, with the longest one by a mile being a 35-minute short film called Factory by Chen Chieh-jen, produced in 2003. The concept was interesting, but I found it to be a snooze fest. As per last time, it wasn't the longest visit, but it was still nice.\n\nThis isn't my favorite museum in the city, but it's nice for an afternoon visit. As said, check the current selection to see if you're interested.","rating":4,"time_description":"2 months ago"}]},"attached":false}
