For over a century the Department of Art of Asia, Oceania and Africa at the Museum of Fine Arts has been said to house "the finest collection of Asian art under one roof in the world." The extraordinary strength of the museum's holdings in this area is result of the foresight and commitment of a small group of pioneering connoisseurs of Asian art who began their efforts in the 1870's.
