I always like to see a museum that takes advantage of its location rather than looking exclusively inward!

My mom (on the left) and her sister on one of the camels, circa 1948. They both were born and raised in Everett, WA.

Fun historic shot of Seattle Asian Art Museum, it was simply the Seattle Art Museum for many years until the newer downtown location was built. I should have taken a close up of a camel!
