Curators and experts took center stage to deliver lectures about the collections in the museum and traditional Chinese rituals. Volunteers from the Newham Chinese association were teaching attendees to play the widely-popular Chinese game Mahjong.
The organizers had also arranged for young people and children to get stuck in with making lucky charms and red envelopes to bring their good luck wishes into the new year. The event closed with a spectacular evening light display that lit up the twin domes of the Old Naval College and iconic Queen's House.
