Cultural Celebration
A Persian New Year Celebration
A translucent jade cup, a story about the Kaha bird, and an insider’s view of traditions: celebrate Nowruz, the Persian New Year, with fascinating close-up looks at works from the museum’s West Asian collection and enthralling stories about this special day. Gather the whole family for this fun and festive virtual program honoring light over darkness and the emergence of spring. Recommended for ages 10 and up, but all are welcome.
