This year’s Christmas in Keelung is going to be very different. The YM Oceanic Culture & Art Museum has specially invited over a hundred little sheep to make a journey across the seas to the museum’s square, where they will join everyone in celebrating the festive countdown to the New Year.

With Christmas just around the corner, the YM Oceanic Culture & Art Museum has invited over a hundred adorable sheep from Canada’s LunarFest to Taiwan for the “Sheep Are Here!? 羊來了！ 郎咧？” exhibition. From December 12 until January 17, 2016, they will replace Santa’s reindeer to spread joy and hope, and to welcome the New Year with happiness. These sheep were designed by Taiwanese designers. Earlier in 2015, the sheep flock was exhibited in Canada, where during the show they met the Prime Minister in Ottawa and visited places such as Toronto’s Harbourfront Centre — the city’s largest arts and cultural hub — and the front plaza of the Vancouver Art Gallery. Now, at the tail end of the Year of the Sheep, the fluffy friends are returning to Taiwan for another exhibition to light up Keelung Harbor.

During the exhibition, apart from seeing the cute sight of a hundred snow-white sheep, the organizers have also set up an interactive photo zone where everyone can take close-up photos with the sheep. Additionally, on December 12, 13, 19, and 20, the museum will host special Christmas tree DIY events, allowing visitors to create their very own personalized Christmas trees and celebrate joyfully with the sheep. As for how many sheep will actually appear on-site? The organizers are keeping that a mystery and inviting everyone to come and count the sheep themselves.
