"China and Japan in Our Museums" presents a scholarly and detailed overview of the vast collections of East Asian art held within North American institutions during the late 1920s. Authored by Benjamin March, the work functions as a critical assessment of the distribution and quality of Chinese and Japanese masterpieces across various public and private museums. The study meticulously documents the presence of bronzes, ceramics, paintings, and sculptures, offering insights into how these objects were categorized and valued by curators of the era.

Beyond a mere inventory, the text explores the burgeoning interest in Asian aesthetics and the systematic growth of specialized museum departments. March provides a foundational look at the historical trajectory of art acquisition and the efforts to foster cultural appreciation through public exhibition. For those interested in the history of collecting and the evolution of museum studies, "China and Japan in Our Museums" remains a vital reference. It captures a significant moment in the cross-cultural dialogue between the East and West, illustrating the early academic and institutional endeavors to preserve and display the artistic heritage of China and Japan.
