Heritage Museum of Asian Art in Bridgeport features pieces dating back thousands of years
CHICAGO â A museum on the third floor of a Bridgeport building showcases thousands of years of history through Asian art. For Dee Lou, working at the Heritage Museum of Asian Art is a dream job.'We can learn from all the pieces from the old time like 2,500 years ago,' she said. Coming from China only a few years ago, the associate executive director knows her mission is to help preserve and promote the tradition of Asian art.
People are so generous they like to show and share with the public,' Lou said. Many of the pieces are from Chicago area collectors. A collection of Chinese snuff bottles came from an Orland Park man who simply walked into the museum with a suitcase.'When I opened the box, I was like wow this is so beautiful,' Lou said.
