In Person Special Event
Welcome to the Year of the Dragon! February 10, 2024, marks the start of the lunar new year. Do you know your Zodiac animal sign from your birth year? Are you a Dragon, Rabbit, or one of the other ten animals? Compare your character with your family or friends.
According to legend, the order of animals in the zodiac was determined by a race across a great river, with each animal relying on their strengths to succeed. Learn about each of the twelve animals by comparing the legendary creatures to real animals in the museum galleries.

Presented by the Harvard Museum of Natural History and the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology.
