Situated on the National Mall in Washington DC, it opened its doors to the public in 1987. The gallery's entrance, featured in this image, is accessible from the picturesque Enid A. Haupt Garden, a public garden. The Sackler Gallery shares this garden entrance with its sister institution, the Freer Gallery of Art, collectively forming the National Museum of Asian Art. The museum's collection spans from ancient times to the present, featuring works from various Asian cultures. Its founding collection of 1,000 objects was donated by Dr. Arthur M. Sackler, a research physician and medical publisher. The gallery regularly hosts special exhibitions, educational programs, and cultural events. Its location near other Smithsonian museums and national monuments makes it a key attraction on the National Mall, offering free admission year-round and serving as a beacon for art enthusiasts and cultural explorers in the heart of the nation's capital.
