This vibrant celebration will transform the museum, adorning it with colorful decorations and filling the air with lively sounds. Dedicated to enlightening young minds, the experience will immerse children in the rich tapestry of Asian culture and traditions. Through engaging activities, you will joyfully commemorate the Year of the Snake, which in the Asian belief system embodies profound wisdom, intuitive understanding, and transformative potential.
