Dublin City are celebrating the Chinese New Year with a festival that runs from the 12th to the 21st February. 2010 is the year of the Tiger and in Chinese culture the Tiger is characterised by vigour, bravery, loyalty and sometimes unpredictability. While the Irish economy can do with some vigour and bravery, we may hope for less of the unpredictability. Many major cultural institutions are taking part in the celebrations, including the Hugh Lane Gallery, National Museum, National Library and Dublin Zoo.
The Chester Beatty Library will host "Telling Images of China" an exhibition of Chinese paintings from the Shanghai Museum.
Dublin Zoo has been graced with the birth of two new tiger cubs "Wyneta" and "Emas" and will host a variety of events to celebrate the year of the Tiger.
Check out details of the full programme on Dublin City Councils website.
Trinity Capital Hotel is doing a special Bed and Breakfast rate for people attending the Festival, check availability on www.trinitycapital-hotel.com Promo code is CHINANY, rates start at 99 Euro per night.
