ACROSS THE MUSEUM

Welcome the Year of the Horse during an evening of friendship and celebration at your Museum.

Lunar New Year is not only a festival celebrated in China but also in several Asian countries, including Korea and Vietnam.

This year, our celebrations will include a wider range of cultural elements, including a series of exciting performances. These will include a lion dance and a collaboration with the Hong Kong Plucked String Chinese Orchestra.

Visitors can also enjoy hands-on workshops in traditional arts and crafts, and much more. Stay tuned for more information.

Please be aware we are expecting a high number of visitors on the evening, and there may be a queuing system in place.
