In case you haven't heard, today is the Chinese New Year that is celebrated in many parts of the world. This brand new year is the year of the DRAGON, symbol of the Chinese Emperor for over two millenniums, which takes over the year of Rabbit. The Asian museum Musée Cernuschi, for this special occasion, is hosting conferences, workshops and films to invite the public to discover this sacred animal considered by the Chinese. The programs include conferences on: The Animals of the Zodiac, The Symbolism of Dragon; animations for families on: Dragon in the clouds, Glouton Masks; Chinese films on Chinese Gastronomy (January 23rd) and many other documentaries. You can get a complete program here. And if you know any Chinese person, don't forget to tell them Xin Nian Kuai Le (Happy New Year) or Gong Xi Fa Cai (Wish you prosperity)!
