‘New Beginnings’: Lunar New Year Festival

It may be the Year of the Ram (or the Year of the Sheep or the Goat, depending on whom you consult), but it will come roaring in like a lion in this festive celebration at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Highlights will include a performance by the Chinese Center on Long Island Lion Troupe; a show by “Sesame Street” puppeteers; a martial arts demonstration; art activities; and gallery stations where children can investigate the Chinese tea ceremony, Chinese sculpture and Korean sound.
