Did you know there are twelve Chinese zodiac signs? Recently, our museum put a new section up: one with ancient artifacts representing the Chinese Zodiacs, all twelve included!
These are modeled after Tang Dynasty scholars, so the animal zodiacs are outfitted with robes with flowing sleeves.
Although it can be hard to tell which animal is which because of how old these piece are, they’re set in chronological order…from the rat all the way to the pig.

Highlight moments of the special Japanese performance on our latest 3rd Friday Free Admission Museum Night: “Spiral Moment” , an iteration of the Spiral Inwards/Outwards Project, breathing is essential and integral, regardless of station or stature, gender or age. A Princess or Pauper, Dragon or Human. Love, like breath, transcends.
Spiral Inwards/Outwards is a dynamic exploration of movement and music, evoking imagery of a pendulum that symbolizes the inhale and exhale of life’s rhythm. As it spirals outward with each breath, there is a dynamic release of energy, while the inward spiral reflects a calming flow, reminiscent of the natural ebb and flow of existence.
Performers:
Yoshinojo Fujima @fujima.yoshinojo
Tomatsu Takahiro @takahiro.tomatsu
Original Music by Nireus and Tatsu Aoki
