V&A Museum of Childhood
Since 2013, MBL has been invited annually to participate in the Chinese New Year celebrations at the Young V&A(V&A Museum of Childhood)in the UK. This event has since become a highlight of the Chinese cultural festivals in London. Many of the activities are adorned by Western families and children, such as Chinese Folk Music and Dance, Chinese Ethnic Minority Children’s Costume Show, Peking Opera Face Painting, Calligraphy, Chinese Abacus and Martial Arts, Lion Dance and Wish Making, and Chinese Children’s Painting Contest. With MBL launching more cultural programs, the number of people coming to see and participate in the event increased every year. According to the Young V&A, the number of people who came to the event on the 2019 Chinese New Year was close to 5,000.
2013年起MBL受邀加盟了英国V&A儿童博物馆中国春节的年度庆典。自此,这项庆典活动逐渐成为伦敦中国文化节日的亮点。其中:中国民乐舞蹈,中国少数民族儿童服装秀,京剧脸谱与书法,中国算盘与武术的学习,舞狮许愿,中国儿童画竞选等都是西方家庭与孩子们十分热衷的活动。随着MBL文化节目的增添,前来观看与参与的人数也在与年俱增,据V&A儿童博物馆统计,2019年节庆当天,前来联谊的人数接近5千人。
