The Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis will host an international exhibition of 26 larger-than-life, lighted works of art from Zigong, China in 2012.

"Lantern Festival: Art by Day, Magic by Night" will attract visitors from throughout the country to experience one of China's most treasured events and ancient traditions -- the annual lantern festival.

Elaborate outdoor sets crafted of silk and steel will celebrate Chinese culture through bold color, dazzling light and striking design.

The exhibition is the first of its kind and size in the United States, offering visitors a unique opportunity to witness a spectacle rarely staged outside of Asia.
