Lanterns and Legacy: Mahjong at the Museum

Spend an elegant evening at the Forbes House Museum, where the timeless appeal of mahjong meets the grandeur of one of the region's most beautiful historic homes. Reserved for experienced players, this special gathering invites you to enjoy lively games in the museum's exquisite period rooms—an unforgettable setting for an equally enduring tradition.

Rooted in a rich cultural heritage, mahjong has long been celebrated for bringing people together through strategy, conversation, and friendly competition. Gather with fellow enthusiasts for an evening that honors this tradition while offering the rare opportunity to play in a setting of exceptional beauty and historic charm.

Throughout the evening, enjoy refreshments as you mingle with other players between rounds, reconnect with old friends, and make new ones. Whether you're drawn by the game, the company, or the opportunity to experience the Forbes House Museum in a unique way, you'll find an evening of sophistication, camaraderie, and spirited play.

Take your seat, savor the surroundings, and enjoy a memorable night where history, hospitality, and mahjong come together.

This event will occur on the third Tuesday of every month, September, 2026 - June, 2027. Registrants should reserve spots for each month individually. Tickets for each month go on sale a month prior.

Game sets and guidance will be provided by our partner, 12 Sparrow Mahjong. While the evenings are aimed at players with knowledge of the American rules of the game, we encourage those interested in joining in the future to take beginner instruction through 12 Sparrow Mahjong- visit their website for information on classes!
