In 1994, work started on an exhibition entitled 'Kung Hei Fat Choi - Chinese New Year and Pictures' with the aim of collecting prints and woodblocks that celebrate the Chinese New Year. The museum has more than 1,000 Chinese woodblock prints and has acquired a further 2,000 woodblocks of Chinese prints. The collection also includes calendar posters.
