Designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning British architect James Stirling and opened in 1985, the Arthur M. Sackler Museum houses superb collections of ancient, Asian, Islamic, and later Indian art. Among its treasures are the world's finest collections of archaic Chinese jades and Japanese surimono, as well as outstanding Chinese bronzes, ceremonial ancient weapons, and Buddhist cave-temple sculpture; Chinese and Korean ceramics; and Japanese woodblock prints, calligraphy, narrative paintings, and lacquer boxes. The Sackler Museum collections also contain exceptional holdings of works on paper from Mongol, Timurid, and Safavid Iran (14th–17th centuries), Ottoman Turkey (15th–19th centuries), and Rajput and Mughal India. The ancient art department has one of America's most important teaching collections of Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Near Eastern art, with significant holdings of Greek and Roman sculpture, Greek vases, and ancient coins.
