March 1996 Los Angeles County Museum of Arts & Tzu Chi Center

This was the first time traditional Chinese floral arts were introduced to the Los Angeles area. A group of certified floral masters from Taiwan created displays and gave lectures at LACMA and Tzu Chi Center. Many in the audience were surprised to learn that floral arts no longer existed in China and has been lost for the last 200 years only to be revived in Taiwan 35 years ago.
