Check back every few months to see what is new. Because textiles are sensitive to sunlight, banners and garments must be returned to the temperature-controlled vault every few months. Special exhibits on loan may be displayed, such as the Baba-Keck Display of Japanese Tea Ceremony artifacts in the Rudy Room. Donations to the Asian Art Collection must be approved by the Acquisition Committee and Assistance League of Long Beach Board of Directors.
