Join us ahead of Halloween for a special spooky guided tour of Asian Comics: Evolution of an Art Form, led by Education and Public Programs Manager Rosalie Gunawan. Discover the comic artists across Asia who bring the supernatural to life, and explore how mystical beasts, legendary creatures, and folklore ghosts are woven into stories and visual art.
Let your imagination take center stage with a drop-in shadow puppet craft. Create a mythical character inspired by the exhibition, bring it to life on our shadow puppet stage, and use it to tell your own spooky story!
