Details

This event is part of the Museum of Boulder's Curator Talks series. Lights both indoor and out have been a part of Boulder's holiday celebrations during this the darkest time of the year. Not only will we take a look at traditional Christmas tree lighting but we will explore holiday lighting traditions from other cultural groups. Join curator Elizabeth Nosek as she uses historical images and objects from the Museum's permanent collection to discuss the history of holiday lighting.
