New additions to Art of the Nativity
A selection of more than 150 contemporary Nativities from around the world has been donated to our collection, The Art of the Nativity. This addition has generated quite a bit of interest from visitors, as the different styles, materials and techniques tell the stories of the cultures of their origin. Soon to come... an exquisite, near-life-size Nativity, complete with a menagerie of animals. Check back with us for updates.

Walk from "Nazareth" to "Bethlehem" in The First Christmas
Life-sized figures and realistic scenery transport you back in time over 2000 years. Journey with Mary and Joseph. See a typical home of the time and a humble carpenter's shop. Navigate through a caravansary - an oasis marketplace, a rest stop for weary travelers. Experience the dangers of the journey, and be awed by the appearance of a glowing angel. Hear Latin and Aramaic being spoken, and listen to the music of the time. Join the shepherds' trek and at the end of the journey, in a humble grotto, behold the birth of Christ.
