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.

CMOM’s Spring 2012 Benefit was a resounding success.

 

With 350 friends and supporters gathered together—and over $800,000 raised to support CMOM’s vital community outreach program—we could not have imagined a more inspired and heartfelt celebration of our commitment to families, the arts, health and education.. This outpouring of generosity and excitement also resulted in $66,000 raised that evening to provide FREE access to the Museum's educational exhibits for 6,500 Head Start families. This was a great start towards our goal of raising funds to serve 20,000 Head Start families in 2012.

Please check back soon for 2013 event updates!
