As the Year of Monkey approaches, the Beijing Capital Museum is presenting a special monkey-themed exhibition that decodes the cultural roots of monkey in traditional Chinese culture.

The exhibit, Monkey King is Coming (Da Sheng Lai Ye), will showcase more than 40 antique collections, including paintings, calligraphy, stamps, utensils and artwork, and 12 classic Monkey King pictures based on the great Chinese novel Journey to the West.
