Asia Institute – Crane House

We had a blast at the annual Asian Night Market! The food, music and activities were so fun!

Asia Institute is a great organization that has been committed to spreading understanding of Asian cultures in Kentucky for many decades. They have great programs and educational events.

It was very different! Love it

Don't pass this up on your Cultural Pass, all staff so friendly and patient teaching me origami, Chinese calligraphy and mask painting along with nice display on Yangtze Ganges and Ohio Rivers info. My 11 and 17 yr girls and me enjoyed very much. Check this one out

We loved the whole Crane House, from the Tea and Rivers Exhibits to the art and artifacts! We enjoyed learning how to write numbers 1-10 in Chinese and how to make Origami! The Crane House is a hidden treasure and a wonderful place! Everyone is very nice, helpful, and inviting!

1. A wonderful cultural center that offers many amazing programs. 2. Check out their current schedule of events. 3. Check out their art currently on display. 4.

We took a group of boys from DeSales High School on Tuesday, March 31, 2015. We we cheerfully welcomed, and even though we arrived about a half hour early, the staff was ready to go! The exhibits on Asian patterns and designs were lovely and very thoughtfully arranged and displayed! We learned quite a bit about the basic tenets of design elements in the Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Indian cultures. The group then created a design on cloth using block printing, in the manner that saris are made.What a great collaborative activity! We had a delightful time!
