Highlights

40th Annual Japanese New Year Bell-Ringing Ceremony

Ring in the New Year by taking a swing at a 2,100-pound, 16th-century Japanese temple bell.

Led by Reverend Gengo Akiba, this inspiring ceremony will include a purification ritual and chanting of the Buddhist Heart Sutra. Come celebrate with your museum community for an experience the San Francisco Chronicle calls “a great way to end a year and start a new year.”
