American Mahjongg — Lessons for Beginners
About the event
Due to the popularity of the event, registration is required. Mahjongg Lessons (10:30 - 12:30) are open for new and returning players. You will learn the history of the game, be able to identify the tiles, and understand basic game play. At the end of the lesson, if space is available, students may also sign up for the Support Table to play with other new players under the guidance of an instructor. All students are welcome to observe the Open Play at 1:00. New students may not play at Open Play tables until they have completed at least one session at the Support Table. The museum is located one block from the Judiciary Square Metro station (Red line). Street parking is available, and a paid garage is located at 3rd and G Streets.
You do not need to be a member of the museum to participate. On entry to the building, you will be directed to the Nosh Pit, where you can also purchase a snack and coffee while waiting for the games to begin.
Photographs taken by Museum staff during the program may be used for educational and promotional purposes in print and online publications. Attendance at the event implies your consent.
