Did you know that Chinese Zodiac Signs are represented by 12 different animals? 2011 is the Year of the Rabbit!

If you were born in 2011, 1999, 1987, 1975, 1963, 1951, 1939, or 1927, you were born under the sign of the rabbit! Those born under the sign of the rabbit are thought to be calm, tranquil, and efficient. Does that sound like you?

Look for rabbits in the Museum’s Collection on the third floor. Happy hunting!
