Monkey King: A Story from China brings to life one of the most popular stories in Chinese history, culture, art, religion and geography. Join the brave and clever Monkey King as he angers everyone with his mischievous behavior, then atones for his naughtiness by making an arduous journey across China to bring Buddhist scriptures back from India. Visitors of all ages experience this epic Chinese adventure as they make mischief, battle demons and work together to meet challenges.

Created by the Children’s Museum of Manhattan with funding from the Freeman Foundation, and administered by the Association of Children’s Museums. Additional support provided by The Charles B. Wang Foundation.
