The Mai Wah Museum includes a small collection of fine art, created by local artists and specifically related to our mission to promote the Asian heritage of Butte. Most of the pieces relate to Chinese New Year and have been donated by the artists. Some are on display in the museum, and prints of some are available for purchase in the Gift Shop, as indicated below.

We thank all these artists for their generosity!
