Greg,

    The Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum (http://ndm.si.edu/) is part of the
    Smithsonian Institution.  It's on 5th at 91st and is definitely
    worth a visit for anyone interested in design.  They have a lot of
    textile and paper works, but there is also an exhibit right now on
    the decorative arts of China and Japan and how they traded with teh
    U.S. and Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries - it features works
    in porcelain, silver, enamels, lacquer and more and I found it
    fascinating.  The exhibit really helps illustrate how the asian
    influences crept in to many of the design traditions and techniques
    we use today.
