List of museums of Asian art
This is a list of museums with major collections of Asian art. Several famous and distinguished collections, including the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Cleveland Museum of Art, National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, Chicago's Field Museum, Minneapolis Institute of Art, Royal Ontario Museum, Museum of Archaeology at the University of Pennsylvania, Sydney's Art Gallery of New South Wales, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Los Angeles County Museum, Vancouver Art Gallery, Adelaide's Art Gallery of South Australia, Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts, Minneapolis Institute of Art, Chapel Hill, North  Carolina's Ackland Art Museum, the Seattle Asian Art Museum and the Georges Labit Museum do not provide adequate numerical information for their significant collections. This list, therefore, is only provisional. Some collecting institutions combine their ethnographic, cultural, and artistic materials together in their total holdings. Such is the case of the British Museum, for example. It would be nearly impossible to distinguish between these types of objects (e.g. "fine arts") in developing a quantitative, as opposed to qualitative, ranking of this kind.
