Treasures is the member's magazine of the Asian Art Museum. A handsome full-color publication, it is only available as a benefit to museum members and is not sold or otherwise distributed. The magazine is 8.5 x 11 inches in its current format; most issues consist of 24 pages. It is published three times a year. The magazine features:
Exhibition previews and background
Treasures regularly previews forthcoming exhibitions, offering an advance look at objects and events. The magazine's exhibition-related articles try to provide a different perspective on exhibitions from the museum's standard promotional and educational materials.
Behind-the-scenes features
In addition to exhibition-related articles, the magazine sometimes goes behind the scenes to explore such topics as planning an exhibition, conserving art objects, and presenting educational programs.
Other voices, other views
Occasionally the museum solicits articles from noted writers and scholars. Past contributors include Donald Keene, only the third non-Japanese person to be designated a Person of Cultural Merit by the Japanese government; Gary Snyder, winner of the Pulitzer Prize; Robert Hass, former U.S. Poet Laureate; and Myung Mi Kim, winner of the Multicultural Publisher’s Exchange Award.
Regular features
Regular features include commentary from the museum's director, a review of recent museum events, membership news, and special store discounts on featured items.
