"The Kingdom of Siam" @ Asian Art Museum, San Francisco

[ttaaee]

During Fer 18 - May 8, 2005, the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco is currently running an exhibition, "The Kingdom of Siam: The Art of Central Thailand 1350–1800".

In case you're planning to be in San Francisco sometime during that time, don't forget to include a trip to the museum in your plan.

According to one of its webpages:

- The second most important collection of Thai paintings outside of Thailand.
- A comprehensive collection of Thai ceramics, a representative survey of Thai sculpture, a collection of krises (daggers) from Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand, and other furnishings and ritual objects.

Well, I was hoping for more from "the second most important collection of Thai paitings outside of Thailand" when I visited the musem last year. But that being said, a trip to the museum is worthwhile.
