To celebrate the Year of the Dragon, which arrived on February 17, this colorful educational exhibition presented a variety of items: contemporary woodblock prints, folk art, and photographs illustrating Lunar New Year festivities, such as making “sticky rice” cakes, the cultivation of silkworms, and writing New Year’s couplets. The exhibition also contained graphic materials supplemented by a display of crafts representing traditional and contemporary life and items reflecting dragon symbolism in Chinese culture, including protective lockets, clothing, kites, and a household altar.
