Mao's painting reminded me I should go to Asian section first in case I run out of the time for the day.

So I followed the floor plan and came to the 'Asian Wing'.

Immediately I felt I am in the right place.

I was shocked not about how beautiful the art works are, but on how much money worth of jade they have put into such a small room.

Not far from this jade room, you found the famous built-in SuZhou garden. This a the frame of a photo I saw in a Magazine with introduction of NYC MET Metropolitan Museum of Art. That was maybe 20 years ago. I saw finally I have been able to come to the same spot and took a same frame of photo. (Since then, I have been to the real SuZhou garden in SuZhou though...)

The rest are Japan and other Asian art works, not much comparing to Chinese works.
