Currently, the AAM collection has approximately 18,000 works of art and artifacts from throughout Asia, some which go as far back as 6,000 years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global Leaders New Year Kickoff 2018 JAN . 23 . 2018 5:30 pm &#8211; 8:00 pm Join Bay  &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":132918,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csoftintl.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132917"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csoftintl.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csoftintl.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csoftintl.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csoftintl.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132917"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.csoftintl.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132917\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csoftintl.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/132918"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csoftintl.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csoftintl.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csoftintl.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
