The Museum of Chinese in America
This event has ended.
The Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) invites visitors to explore the intellectual, Chinese Puzzleshistorical, aesthetic, and cultural dimensions of puzzles with an exhibition of antique games from China. Some of the world's most famous and widely enjoyed puzzles-such as tangram and interlocking burrs-have their roots in China, with close links to Chinese scientific and artistic traditions across more than two thousand years. Chinese Puzzles: Games for the Hands and Mind will showcase 100 objects from the Song dynasty through the mid-20th century. With contemporary reproductions available for hands-on visitor participation, Chinese Puzzles will be engaging for everyone from small children to experienced puzzle masters, and from designers to historians to mathematicians.
