'Visit
the House of Oriental Treasures'
| Since opening to the public in April 1993, the Museum has gone from
strength to strength,
and has become one of the most extensive collections of East Asian art
outside London. With a collection of almost 2,000 objects, ranging in
date from c.5000 BC to the present day, the Museum offers its
visitors a wonderful insight into the art and cultures of China,
Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia. With one of the most comprehensive
jade collections in the UK and some of the finest bamboo carvings
in Europe, the collection uncovers the finest achievements in
East Asian craftsmanship.

Museums are renowned for being unfriendly for
younger visitors, full of objects they cannot touch and information
they cannot understand. The Museum of East Asian Art is keen to
shake off this image and strives to involve children from an early
age by offering exciting events and activities.
The Museum provides an education service to primary and secondary
schools, as well as adult education and universities. We also
provide
a wide-range of workshops and more hands-on activities, as part of
its
continuing commitment to education at all levels.
