Join us for a virtual celebration of the Lunar New Year, a tradition enjoyed in China and in several East and Southeast Asia countries. Explore the art of Asian cultures, enjoy a dynamic dance performance, take A Step Back in Time, and connect with activities featuring the new year’s zodiac animal, the ox.

Starting in 1996, the museum has hosted an annual Chinese New Year Festival showcasing our world-renowned Chinese collection and local talent. This year we observe the Lunar New Year by reaching out to new communities to celebrate and learn together. Holiday dates, titles and customs vary around the world, but marking a new year is something to be shared!
