All About The Crow Museum

Vision Statement

To love and celebrate the arts and cultures of Asia.

Mission Statement

The Crow Museum of Asian Art of The University of Texas at Dallas inspires and promotes learning and dialogue about the arts and cultures of Asia through our exhibitions, the research and preservation of our collections, artistic and educational programming, and visitor experience and engagement.

We accomplish this in accordance with the highest professional standards, through collaboration with our diverse public and partners in our communities, nationally, and internationally. We define Asia as endlessly diverse, and not of one place, time, or idea.

By cultivating compassion and inclusivity through our work, we build greater awareness and a shared sense of what it means to be human.

Institutional Goal

To put compassion into action.

Crow Museum of Asian Art History  

Trammell and Margaret Crow bought their first piece of Asian art in the mid-1960s. From that initial purchase, a distinguished collection of Asian art has evolved. The collection features pieces from China, Japan, India, Korea and Southeastern Asia spanning from historical to contemporary.
