The Arthur M. Sackler Gallery and the Freer Gallery of Art form the Smithsonian Institution's national museums of Asian art in the United States. The Freer and Sackler galleries house the largest Asian art research library in the country. Founded in 1982, the Gallery is named after Arthur M. Sackler, who donated approximately 1,000 objects and $4 million to the building of the museum. Located on the south side of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and being physically connected to the Freer Gallery of Art, 96% of the museum is located underground underneath the Enid A. Haupt Garden.
History
Japanese Prime Minister Masayoshi Ōhira visited the Freer Gallery of Art in 1979. During his visit, he announced that Japan would donate $1 million to the Smithsonian in order to assist in the building of an annex to the Freer to display Asian art. That same year, the United States Senate approved the Smithsonian Institution's request for $500,000 to build museums for Asian and African art on June 6. In June, 1980, the Smithsonian removed the South Quadrangle Project from their fiscal plan. The project resurfaced in 1981, and on December 23 Congress approved $960,000 for the new complex. It was the first time that federal funds were contributed to a project as unrestricted.
Dr. Arthur Mitchell Sackler (August 22, 1913 – May 26, 1987) was an American psychiatrist, entrepreneur and philanthropist.
He attended New York University School of Medicine and graduated with an M.D. In 1960 Sackler started publication of Medical Tribune, a weekly medical newspaper. He established the Laboratories for Therapeutic Research in 1938. He made his fortune in medical advertising, medical trade publications and the manufacture of over-the-counter drugs.

Sackler Gallery, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art in Washington, D.C. This major exhibition in the museum’s Korean Gallery explores world-class traditional celadon ceramics from nearly a millennium ago that have become icons of Korean culture today.
Guided by Sunwoo Hwang, Korean Program Associate at the Freer and Sackler, this first virtual tour of 2021 highlights exquisite works from the museum’s current exhibition, which focuses on celadon wares of the Goryeo dynasty (918–1392). Many of the items were collected by the founder of the Freer Gallery of Art, Charles Lang Freer (1854–1919), around the turn of the twentieth century when there was a growing interest in Korean art on the Peninsula as well as in Japan, Europe, and America. Korean celadon from this period is distinguished by innovative techniques and a degree of artistry that was outstanding at the time.
When its doors opened in 1923, the Freer Gallery’s holdings of Korean art were unparalleled in quality and historical scope. Tea bowls of the Joseon dynasty (1392-1897) are what first attracted Charles Lang Freer to Korean art. He later expanded his collection to include Goryeo dynasty celadon and rare examples of exquisite Buddhist paintings. Today, the 773 Korean objects in the gallery’s Korean collection include almost 300 ceramics spanning Korean history throughout the Three Kingdoms, Unified Silla, Goryeo, and Joseon periods.
As a public health precaution due to COVID-19, the museum is temporarily closed to visitors.
