  The Asian Art Museum of San Francisco – Chong-Moon Lee Center for Asian Art and Culture - houses one of the most comprehensive Asian art collections in the world, with more than 18,000 works of art in its permanent collection, some as much as 6,000 years old.

  Enjoy a private docent-led tour through the newly reopened 3rd floor galleries to discover the Asian’s rich collection in a new display. The Asian’s collection showcases diverse and intriguing cultures as well as sacred and secular art. 

  The “Great Works” tour is the perfect introduction to the Asian Art Museum’s collection and a superb way to experience the collection over and over again in the future. This tour is crafted to focus (in depth) on a relatively small number of artistic masterpieces, which exemplify their particular aspect of Asian art.

  Visit the museum’s other exhibits on your own afterward, and enjoy a lunch in the museum restaurant. Special exhibits are available for an additional $10 at the time of the visit www.asianart.org/

  March 29, 2026. Members and their guests $30, all others $35

  To be part of the PBKNCA package, do not reserve directly with the facility. Wait for the email message from Barry (probably in October). Be sure you check your email, or you may find you don't have a room.

  For registration or logistics matters, please contact Barry Haskell at bghaskell@comcast.net .

  Registration, which goes in part to scholarships, is $150 (member and their guests rate), $180 Non-PBKNCA, 

  Asilomar cost in 2026 was $682.85/person, double occupancy. Including room, all meals and parking. Of course, it will be a little more in 2027!

  We are delighted to invite you to share in a weekend of learning, dialogue, and fellowship at the Asilomar Conference Center on the spectacular Monterey Coast.

  But this is more than eight interesting speakers, it is an opportunity to renew old friendships, or make new friends at meals; walk on the beach or the trails. Explore the historic buildings of the Asilomar State Park. Visit the Butterfly Grove Inn to see the beautiful Monarch Butterflies, and much more.

  Some of you may feel ready for new beginnings.  Some may be eager to expand your learning into unexplored ground.  Some of you may just be eager for a chance to hang with friends in a beautiful, refreshing and historic coastal retreat.  And for some of you, all three apply.  Thankfully, we are looking forward to a new season for the PBKNCA Asilomar Conference in February!  It is again time to reserve your space for a weekend of learning, inspiration, fellowship and a breath of sanity, on the magnificent Monterey coast. Come, bring a friend, and find out for yourself.
