Towson - Asian Arts & Culture Center

The Asian Arts & Culture Center at Towson University was created in 1971, when local businessman Frank Roberts donated his collection of Chinese and Japanese ivory sculpture. Since that time, the Center's permanent collection of Asian art objects has grown to include

ceramics, paintings, wood-block prints, textiles, wood, metal and stone sculpture, cloisonné enamels and furniture. On view in the gallery is a selection from the approximately 1,000 art objects from China, Korea, Japan, India, Tibet, Nepal, Cambodia, Indonesia and Thailand. In addition to the permanent collection, the Center presents changing exhibitions of Asian art ranging from historical works to contemporary masters, and presents engaging performing artists
