Short Films — 2023

Directed by Hannah Swayze

The National Museum of Asian Art is the Smithsonian’s first dedicated art museum and was the first art museum on the National Mall. Since opening its doors in 1923 as the Freer Gallery of Art, it has acquired an international reputation for excellence by virtue of its extraordinary collections and century-long tradition of exhibitions, research, art conservation, and conservation science.

A hundred years later, in 2023, the museum’s centennial is a milestone celebration as well as a springboard for the museum’s transformative vision for its next century, which will broaden and deepen the museum’s impact and reach both on-site and online.
