There are two museums in the U.S. that feature the art of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III: the International Art Museum of America in San Francisco and the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Cultural and Art Museum in Covina, California. The first museum dedicated to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III (known as Master Wan Ko Yee at the time) was built by the People’s Republic of China near the birthplace of His Holiness in Dayi County, Sichuan Province, but was cannibalized and the artwork stolen after His Holiness left China. The second was established in Hong Kong, but also fell victim to the corruption of the manager and others. That story is told elsewhere.
