	The Florence and Herbert Irving Galleries for the Arts of South and Southeast Asia are arranged in geographical and chronological sequence, beginning with South Asia, progressing to later Indian, Nepali, and Tibetan art, and concluding with the art of Southeast Asia—Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Burma (Myanmar). The main feature of the Southeast Asian rooms is a large hall housing Angkor-period sculpture. Its beige sandstone floor and post-and-lintel motifs suggest buildings found at Angkor, the great Khmer capital from the beginning of the ninth through the thirteenth century.
