Celebrate Norooz
Sunday, March 8, 2009
10:30 am to 4:00 pm
Celebrate Norooz, a festival of new life observed by Persians, Tajiks, Afghans, Uzbeks, Kurds, and Azerbaijanis. Let the Silk Road Dance Company dazzle you with its costumes, stories, and music. Witness the Sofreh Haft Sîn, the ceremonial table of the New Year, and a Parsee Navroz presentation. Watch a demonstration by celebrated painter Nasser Ovissi. Finish the day by creating Norooz-inspired crafts in the Make-and-Take Workshop and drawing in the Museum’s galleries of Middle Eastern art.
