SENSUALITY
Let's get it on. Turn on all your senses with an array of titillating "hot spots" throughout the museum. Soak up the intimate tea lounge hosted by Tea Alchemy (of Burning Man notoriety), smell the signature fragrances created by aromatic artist Yosh Han as inspired by Maharaja, and join critically acclaimed comic book artist MariNaomi as she reads from her graphic memoir Kiss and Tell: A Romantic Resume Ages 0-22. Explore themes of sensuality, desire, obsession, sex, and lust in the galleries, adorn your skin with henna art, or just relax with an Ayurvedic head massage. All for just $10. 5-9 pm. How can you resist?

LOL!
Laugh out loud with comedian Dan Nainan. You may have seen him in an Apple commercial, in the film The Last Airbender, in TedIndia, or possibly at a Democratic National Convention. Of Indian and Japanese descent, Dan brings his wit and humor to MATCHA in full force. Take a ride through the Maharaja exhibition and the museum's collections with docent conversations. Round out your night making art, having a cocktail, enjoying dinner at Café Asia, and hanging with friends and the DJ.
