Together you will explore how dance is passed down through the generations – as a living heritage that connects and inspires. In this interactive family tour, you will get to know exciting objects from the past and present and use fans to bring movement to the Museum of Asian Art. While dancing, listening and trying things out, you will experience how stories, bodies and movement come together. Be inspired together!
