Norton Simon Museum, resource for Indian/SE Asian art

From docent Josie Owens:

I had the good fortune to visit the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena two years ago and was amazed by its Indian/SE Asian art collection. It is housed in a Frank Gehry building and is serene. The vast collection has so many examples of what we specifically discussed in docent class. Please see the links below:
