Merry Christmas (Past)!
Something to look forward to in the new year is the reopening of the Geffrye Museum, now rebranded as the Museum of the Home after two years of renovations. I’m excited about seeing the new galleries and spaces and hope to visit soon after it reopens in summer 2020.
Amongst all the new though, hopefully the Christmas Past exhibit will be making a return next winter, showing the evolution of British Christmas decorations from Elizabethan wreaths and garlands, through the simple sprigs of holly in the 18th Century and the Victorian revival of the festive season, up to the plastic trees and fairy lights of the modern era.
For now, a look back at the last iteration of the exhibition in 2017, and Happy Holidays to all!
