Jubilant Rams in Chinese Culture: Celebrating the Year of the Ram, Art Museum
 

The Art Museum, Department of Fine Arts and Department of Chinese Language and Literature jointly present this special exhibition from 6 February to 26 April 2015. The exhibition includes a selection of over 30 paintings, ceramic pieces, carved jade and other gemstones, all of which relate to the ram.
