The Pacific Asia Museum houses a great collection of Asian artifacts ranging from ancient pottery to modern Chinese art. Parts of the museum were closed for renovations when I went last year, but I found the displays on Chinese ceramics to be particularly interesting. The courtyard in the center of the building is a beautiful quiet place to reflect when you've finished touring the various gallery spaces. The museum also contains a small store, where they sell various Asian-themed items and books. Definitely worth the trip.
