The Luckiest Museum in the World
Feeling a bit out of luck recently? Good fortune is on its way – in the form of this pop-up museum, happening for two days on March 20 and 21. Taking place at Orinami Asakusa, Japan’s first workshop for hand-weaving omamori charms, the museum brings together an impressive variety of lucky talismans from various countries and cultures, in addition to spotlighting customs thought to bring great fortune. The eclectic selection includes rolling pineapples, toilet deities and Draco Malfoy – an unlikely mascot of good fortune in China to kickstart the year of the Fire Horse. Make your own luck by learning more about lucky charms and customs from different countries and cultures this spring.
The event is free to enter, but donations are welcome.
