More than 40 distinguished dealers from the U. S. and abroad will once again fill the Museum’s dramatic third floor galleries to overflowing with one-of-a-kind “treasures” from the distinctive artistic traditions of Asia, Africa, Oceania and the Americas.

Thousands of experienced and new collectors, interior designers, home furnishers, classic clothing visionaries and style-setters come to Treasures each year to find beautiful and intriguing works of original fine art and antiques—at a wide range of prices.

Dealer talks, Blooming Treasures floral creations, a display of Treasures’ Treasures and an International Café add to the attraction.
