This month, enjoy Chinese New Year at the Museum with visiting scholars Li Chen and Zhongyuan Zhang from the Confucius Institute at Bryant University. The Year of the (hardworking, courageous and talented) Rooster officially begins on Saturday, January 28 and is celebrated through February 2, 2017. Chen will guide us through the ancient art of Tai Chi motions (Taiji) modified specifically for children. Through slow and controlled movements, students will practice mindfulness while learning this ancient traditional exercise. Parents will surely benefit too!
