This permanent exhibition offers a dazzling journey through time, tracing the history of Christmas from the 19th century to the present day. It showcases a fascinating mix of rare, historic treasures and beloved classics of Christmas decoration. Highlights include rare tragacanth, cotton wool, and pewter ornaments, delicate filigree works made of Leon wire, and magnificent historic Christmas tree ornaments. Traditional crafts such as Erzgebirge Christmas pyramids, incense-burning figurines, candle arches, and stately nutcrackers can also be admired alongside elaborate chandeliers. The exhibition is complemented by fascinating background information that, among other things, sheds light on the difference between St. Nicholas, the Christ Child, and Santa Claus. A worthwhile experience for families, collectors, and all lovers of Christmas nostalgia.
