Asia Society
The Asia Society is a non-profit organization that focuses on educating the world about Asia. It has several centers in the United States (Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, DC) and around the world (Hong Kong, Manila, Mumbai, Seoul, Shanghai, and Sydney). These centers are overseen by the Society’s headquarters in New York, which includes a museum that exhibits the Rockefeller collection of Asian art and rotating exhibits with pieces from many Asian countries including China, Japan, India, Iran, and Korea.

==Mission==
The Asia Society defines the region of Asia as the area from Japan to Iran, from central Asia to Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. The Asia Society is a non-profit, non-partisan organization whose aim is to build awareness about Asian politics, business, education, arts, and culture through education. The organization sponsors the exhibitions of art, performance, film, lectures, and programs for students and teachers. The programs are aimed at increasing knowledge of society with a focus on human rights, environment, global health and the position of women.
The Asia Society's original focus was explaining aspects about Asia to Americans, and Robin Pogrebin of ''The New York Times'' said that it was "()ong regarded as a New York institution with regional branches".〔Pogrebin, Robin. "(Asia Society Expands, in Houston and Hong Kong )". ''The New York Times''. February 2, 2012. Retrieved on January 31, 2012.〕 Around 2011 the society was refocusing efforts on augmenting partnerships amongst Asians and between Asians and Americans in business, culture, education, and public policy. In 2011 Pogrebin said "over the last few years has aimed to recast itself as an international organization, partly through the construction of the two major centers in cities where it previously had only offices".〔
