(Clearwisdom.net) On January 23, the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology held its 29^th Chinese New Year celebration. The Chinese section of the museum displays many collections from China. Several groups were on hand to perform a traditional Chinese lion dance, demonstrate martial arts, and play traditional instruments. Local Falun Gong practitioners demonstrated their peaceful exercises.

Learning the exercises

Westerners liked the calligraphy, which reads "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance."

Many visitors watched the demonstration, and some learned the exercises. Practitioners also had a booth. They passed out informational materials, telling people about the beauty of Falun Gong and exposing the brutal persecution.

Practitioners also made calligraphy art works that read "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" and gave them to the visitors, who were very pleased to accept them.

It was the 13^th year in a row that Falun Gong has been invited to this celebration. Practitioners also had a booth to promote the Shen Yun Performing Arts show, which attracted many tourists.
