Children of Hangzhou: Connecting with China Exhibit Opens June 13

Exhibit: "Children of Hangzhou: Connecting with China"

Dates: June 13 – September 13, 2009

Place: Bay Area Discovery Museum, 557 McReynolds Road, Sausalito CA 94965

How does a children's museum communicate the concept of the fact that cultures around the world are very different from our own? By giving kids a hands-on experience, which is exactly the style of the Bay Area Discovery Museum.

Kids will get the chance to sample everyday activities from family life in Namgzhou, a traditionally rural city changing into a modern urban center. They can write Chinese symbols, cook with a Chinese grandmother, explore computer games, plant rice, and take a turn as performers in a traditional Chinese opera!

If you haven't ever taken the kids to this fascinating center, this exhibit is a great reason to make the trip. If you're visiting Sausalito on vacation and nee a "kids' vacation stop" to balance out Mom and Dad's choices, this likewise belongs high on your list.
