Located in the Arts District of downtown Dallas, The Crow Collection is a permanent set of galleries dedicated to the arts and cultures of China, Japan, India and southeast Asia. The museum offers a serene setting for quiet reflection and learning.

The interactive portion of the site brings together information and opinions about Asian art utilizing images of objects in the collection and archival documents. Additionally, the presentation links to a participatory learning environment offered as a part of the education section of the Crow Collection website. Using Web 2.0 tools such as WordPress and Flickr, visitors to the site will be able to choose images and log their own entries. The dialogue created here documents the diversity of insight and perspectives on Asian artistic traditions and cultures.
