About

The exhibition introduces the main holiday of China through objects, rituals, and stories of people. Viewers are shown how ancient customs continue to live in a large modern city. The exhibition is arranged as a journey through the stages of a big family celebration. In the first hall, a house is shown on the eve of the holiday: red strips with wishes on the doors, cleaning of rooms, selection of lanterns and firecrackers, preparation of treats for the communal table. The variety of dishes highlights how differently the New Year is celebrated in various regions of the country. The next section transports the viewer to the street. Here, processions with drums, lions, and dragons come to life, lanterns and kites in the shape of swallows are launched. Nearby, terracotta figurines, porcelain bowls, and snuff boxes are displayed in showcases, referencing the noisy fairs and street performances. A special emphasis is placed on New Year pictures of niánhuā. Bright woodblock prints depict scenes of preparation and joy. On our website, we share information about free events in Moscow.
