As AWNY takes place in the country’s main cultural and museum hub, visitors can avail themselves of the wealth of Asian scholarship and collections available in NYC’s institutions.
Several of these have directly linked to the event, not least the Met. It hosts AWNY’s main ticket-only reception (on March 13), holds the annual lecture on south and south-east Asian Art, Durga, the all powerful in Eastern India on opening night and has its own roster of eight Asian exhibitions that run through 2017.
But 15 other museums and cultural institutions are also involved.
