What animal are you? Find out your animal and see all the 12 Chinese zodiac characters in the exhibition with beautiful original artwork done by our artists from Taiwan. The highly detailed and colourful artworks were produced by traditionally trained Taiwanese artists illustrating events in the legends of the Chinese Zodiac animals.
