The Asian Art Museum houses one of the largest collections of Asian art in the world with 18,000 objects — some pieces dating back 6,000 years.

Its current feature exhibition, Divine Bodies, showcases more than 40 traditional Hindu and Buddhist paintings and sculptures, along with some modern photo-based work. Divine Bodies encourages attendees to ponder themes of transformation, transcendence and the relationship of the body to the cosmos. The exhibition runs through July 29, 2018.

Tickets range from $10-$25. There is also free admission on the first Sunday of every month.
