It's time to spread some joy and beauty of the season to counteract the grim news we've all been hearing recently.
Our community is fortunate to have the Roberson Museum and Science Center. This is not a large museum but, then again, this is not located in a big city. Spouse and I go several times a year, as some of the exhibits change.
Our Roberson Museum has a yearly exhibit called Home for the Holidays. Besides the decorated Christmas trees (I'll be showing you more in other posts) it has an exhibit called The International Forest. Members of various ethnic groups who live in our area share their customs in each exhibits, with artwork, a decorated tree, and food.
Here are some of the highlights.
Scotland.
Poland
I cut off the sign announcing this nationality. Can one of my readers fill me in?
Finally, there were exhibits from the Jewish community (above) for Hanukkah and one on Kwanzaa. The latter, unfortunately, did not come out. I've been having a problem with my iPhone camera occasionally blurring the entire picture, and I really need to look into it.
Tomorrow, I will be having a combination Wordless Wednesday/Garden Bloggers Bloom Day post. I'll blog more about Home for the Holidays sometime in the coming days.
I'd love for you to join me tomorrow for some more beauty, the beauty of Nature.
...if there was ever a time to celebrate the holidays in an inclusive way this is the time! Let's be merry for a change.
ReplyDeleteThe photo after Poland is definitely Eastern Europe, maybe Russia?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and timely exhibit.
ReplyDeleteThose are terrific! I'm glad I moved where I am when my youngest were already 16 and 18, because it's a desert for enrichment. Of course, we were in the S.F. Bay Area, so maybe I got spoiled with so, so much. No, I think this is just a desert, I'd hate to try to home school here.
ReplyDeleteI love the inclusion of celebrations of other religions. Wish the Kwanzaa pic had come out, I'd liked to have seen it.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to see all the different Christmas Scenes:)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun exhibit. Sorry your camera is giving you problems. What happened to upgrading your phone?
