This indispensable guide offers a feast of practical and thoughtful ideas for museum programming around Christmas and other winter holidays. The authors provide crucial historical, cultural, and religious context and share wisdom derived from a wide range of institutional experience. Useful advice includes both highly specific details (such as where to find collection-safe Christmas greenery) and multiple, energizing perspectives on creating welcoming, inclusive, accurate, community-driven—and popular!—seasonal exhibitions and events.
Gretchen Buggeln, professor of Art History & Humanities, Valparaiso University
