Created by the Children’s Museum of Houston, Dragons & Fairies: Exploring Viet Nam Through Folktales provides a profusion of hands-on, interactive experiences about the daily life and culture of people in Vietnam. The exhibit debuts on Oct. 10 at the Children's Museum of Houston just in time for the Vietnamese Mid-Autumn Festival.

Dragons & Fairies: Exploring Viet Nam Through Folktales includes five “folktale theatres”—partially enclosed structures where families view multi-media presentations of popular folktales.

Vietnamese Festival Themes in Houston including the Lantern Festival

The facades of the theatres will thematically be a part of three distinct regions. In one, visitors explore what life is like in rural areas of Viet Nam. In another, visitors experience the “streets” of a city and take part in preparations for Tet Trung Thu – the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival. In a third, visitors may enter a houseboat and house like those found in Viet Nam’s urban and riverside regions and take part in preparations for Tet Nguyen Dan - the Lunar New Year Festival.
