Celebrate the Year of the Horse with a puppet show put on by the Chinese Theatre Works: Hao Bang Ah! Horse, an original budaixi traditional Chinese glove-puppetry production that features the twelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac.

After the performance, talk with the puppeteers about their handmade puppets and make your own optical toy based on the jumping horse Magic Wheel (or phenakistoscope) in the Museum’s collection.
