Life. Death. The cosmos. What’s it all about? Phantoms of Asia is the Asian Art Museum’s contemporary art exhibition exploring spirituality and the afterlife, and you can see it after-hours at our MATCHA events.

Our DJ-in-residence Vin Sol — remixer, producer, and music extraordinaire — will spin new sounds to shape a unique art experience with performances, docent and storytelling tours, cash bars, and more. Mix and mingle with Phantoms in style
