SAM, downtown, is closed. A new and expanded facility will open in spring 2007. During construction the Seattle Asian Art Museum will be our center of activity, hosting diverse exhibitions and programs.

The collections of the Seattle Art Museum number approximately 23,000 objects, representing a wide range of art from ancient Egyptian reliefs to contemporary American installations using photography and video. The collections are particularly strong in five areas: Asian, African, Northwest Coast Native American, modern art, and European painting and decorative arts. Their range and depth are unmatched in the region.
