Asian Art Museum

Be/longing: Contemporary Asian Art The Asian Art Museum comes back to life after a long hiatus with this exhibition of 12 expatriate (or onetime expatriate) contemporary artists originating from Azerbaijan, Iran, India, Thailand, China, Korea, and Japan. Their work, which comes from the museum’s collection and two private sources, reflects their perspectives on Asian heritage “as both insiders and outsiders” in the world. (Opens Sat Feb 8)
