Asia Society Hong Kong Center (ASHK) is proud to present a discussion with Dr. Chase F. Robinson, director of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Asian Art (NMAA). In conversation with Dr. He Jianfei, Director of Chinese Art and Culture at Bei Shan Tang Foundation, Dr. Robinson will explore what national museums are for โ€“ a question easier to answer when they first emerged โ€“ in the late 18th and 19th centuries โ€“ than now.


Storehouses for exotica, sanctuaries for quiet delectation, monuments to beautyโ€”national museums in the West symbolized the acquisitive dynamics of the day, especially those driven by nationalism, imperialism, secularization, industrialization, and capitalism. Adapting to the financial and creative consequences of mid- to late 20th-century globalization, particularly the emergence of a polyfocal landscape of creative cultures, should and must prompt new thinking. The NMAA, which celebrated its centennial in 2023, has launched a series of initiativesโ€”all driven by a commitment to transparency, access, collaboration, and sustainabilityโ€”that are intended to ensure that it serves as a global resource for understanding the arts, cultures, and societies of Asia, and their intersection with the United States. Join ASHK to hear more about the NMAA's initiatives and approach, and to pose questions of your own to Dr. Robinson.
