Where will you spend New Year’s Eve? Are you ready? The Liaoning Provincial Museum has prepared six wonderful activities for both domestic and international visitors and looks forward to welcoming everyone for a special New Year’s Eve celebration.

The New Year’s Eve celebration at the Liaoning Provincial Museum features six key segments: a China-chic Gala Performance, an Immersive Children’s Drama, an Interactive Scripted Game, Heartwarming Educational Activities, an Intangible Cultural Heritage Craft Fair, and Professional Public Welfare Tour Guide Service. Centered on culture and expressed through contemporary trends, the museum presents an immersive New Year’s feast, inviting you to bid farewell to the past year and welcome the new here. The event will run from December 31, 2025, to 12:05 a.m. on January 1, 2026. The Main Stage and Multiple-function Hall on the first floor of the museum will serve as the primary venues for the celebration. Additionally, all exhibition halls on Floors 1 to 3 will also be open to visitors.

The cultural performances on New Year’s Eve will be rich and diverse, featuring acrobatics, face-changing opera, dances, and children’s plays. Dance programs specially created for New Year’s Eve, including Auspicious Lions Roaring the Tide, Galloping Horses, and Spring Festival Appointment, will create a joyous and vibrant atmosphere to welcome the new year. In addition, a cultural heritage quiz with prizes and a New Year’s bell-ringing ceremony will also be held.

The New Year’s Eve celebration at the museum will be centered around cultural and museological content. Liaoning Provincial Museum, in collaboration with a theatrical troupe, centers the event on “Cross-Time Dialogue with Liaoning’s National Treasures.” Through various artistic forms, the museum’s signature relics “step out” of their display cases and interact with the audience in a personified manner, truly bringing the artifacts to life. As the New Year approaches, the Liaoning Provincial Museum will accompany visitors in welcoming the new year with public welfare interpretation. On December 31, from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m., Liaoning Provincial Museum will host ten public welfare interpretation sessions, where volunteers will provide professional commentary in all main exhibition halls with no reservation required.
