The event features traditional guzheng music, an ancient Chinese instrument that promises to add an authentic touch to the celebration. Visitors can also participate in artmaking activities and an Asian art-themed scavenger hunt. Channel your inner detective as you explore the museum’s impressive collection and discover hidden gems along the way.
