This was the third year the American Art Museum hosted the Chinese New Year Family Festival. Total visitors on Saturday were estimated at 7,300, according to the museum, in comparison the some 4,800 last year.
Richard Kurin, the under secretary of Smithsonian Institution, said his institution is dedicated to understanding people and culture, the tradition, the values, the aspiration of people around the world, history, art and the music. "So this is part of our regular program respecting the people and culture of the world," he said.
"We want people to come together, to understand each other and celebrate each other’s culture," said Kurin.
