Asian Folk Art Views
The majority of MOIFA's Asian material comes from Japan, China, and India, although the museum has acquired a number of important pieces from Korea, Tibet, and Southeast Asia. The Asian collections are particularly strong in folk ceramics, paintings, puppets, talismans and toys. Highlights include over 500 Chinese New Year's Prints (nian hua), over 200 Indonesian shadow puppets (wayang kulit), Indian temple toys, and Japanese woodblock prints and folk ceramics. The Middle Eastern Collection is comprised primarily of amulets, textiles, jewelry, ceramics, and food service objects from Palestine, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria, and an outstanding collection of Turkish ceramics.
