Last Friday, the Museum partied like it was 4706! To celebrate the Chinese New Year (officially on Feb. 7 but that's a Thursday and Fridays are much more conducive to celebrations) the Museum offered performances, music, food, art activities and more.

More than 1,900 people enjoyed the evening which included a performance by the Shaolin Lohan Pai Lion Dance Troupe (above). They were a definite crowd pleaser and many people requested we bring them back for other events.

Other activities included a noodle-making demonstration by the owner of Bo Ling's Chinese Restaurant Richard Ng (above) and dance performances by members of the Lily Zhang Li Taylor
dance company (below). They were adorable.

Many people commented that they enjoyed the evening and it has become a family tradition. If you didn't make it this year, make sure you get here next year. It is a magical evening with something for everyone.
