Museum of East Asian Art

Previous New Year Events!

Sunday 21st February 2010

The MEAA’s 2010 Lunar New Year Extravaganza! was even bigger and better than before. It was officially opened by the Mayor of Bath and included the much anticipated lion dances (performed by the University of Bristol Lion Dance Troupe), traditional Chinese opera performances by the London Jing Kun Opera, martial arts demonstrations, musical performances, poetry readings, as well as arts and crafts activities, with the day being rounded off by a spectacular firecracker display.

The 2010 celebrations coincided with the MEAA’s strategically timed temporary exhibition “Cutting Edge: Untraditional Papercuts by Three Contemporary Artists”. Papercuts are traditionally important at Lunar New Year, being used as decorations that could stay up until the following year’s celebrations.

For 2010 the Museum of East Asian Art also ran an Art Competition with the local primary schools – Winning entries coming soon!

Gallery Coming Soon!
