Founded in 1956 by John D. Rockefeller 3rd, Asia Society is a leading global and pan-Asian organization whose mission is to strengthen relationships and promote understanding among the people, leaders and institutions of Asia and the United States. Asia Society’s unique multidisciplinary approach—combining arts and culture, policy and business, and education—reflects an ongoing commitment to fostering nuanced understanding of Asia’s diverse societies. The Asia Society Museum presents groundbreaking exhibitions and artworks, many previously unseen in North America, and is a leader in organizing the highest quality shows that travel the world. Along with its permanent collection, the Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd Collection of Asian Art, the Society became one of the first American museums to establish an ongoing program of exhibitions devoted to contemporary Asian art and artists. The New York headquarters also features the award-winning, neighborhood favorite Garden Court Café. The delectable café sets the mood with a serene ambiance and a dynamic, Asian-inspired menu that changes seasonally. Presenting the best in Asian design, AsiaStore cultivates and promotes emerging Asian and Asian American design talent and features the renowned brands of Asia.
