AUDIO TOURS

 

Welcome to USC Pacific Asia Museum’s Audio Tour Online! The audio tour can enhance your in-person museum experience, or allow you to “visit” remotely by using this online version, where you can listen, read transcripts, or download the recordings.

The Curatorial and Family series in English, Korean (한국어) and Chinese (繁体中文) are generously sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Poetry series is made possible by Poets on Site, funded in part by the Jeanne Ward Foundation and Katharine Audrey Webb Foundation.

The Curatorial Series provides a deeper look at the objects and their cultural connections.

The all-ages Family Series focuses on legends, animals, and mysteries.

The Poetry Series features original poetry and music inspired by the museum and its collection.
