The Walters’ celebration of Lunar New Year returns to the museum in 2023. This year we recognize the rabbit, which represents the fourth year of the 12-year cycle in the Lunar calendar.
On Sunday, January 22, we welcome visitors to join us in making art, enjoying performances by Baltimore Chinese School, Yong Han Lion Dance Troupe, taking a photo at the photo booth, and more.
Registration requested, not required.
