December 2012: The Japanese galleries have been freshly reinstalled. They look fantastic and most of the pieces haven't been seen for years!

Worth the trip to Volunteer Park to see great objects from across Asia in a fascinating and we'll curated setting.

Be careful of the bush bunnies! The kids area was the best...you can dress up and fold origami!
