Christmas at the castle - Christ Child’s cribs from Krakow’s (Poland) Ethnographic Museum From the 17th of November 2007 until the 13th of January 2008 Open every day from 10 a.m. until 4.30 p.m. including Christmas and New Year's days The Ethnographic Museum of Krakow will display over thirty nativity scenes, one of the most festive testimonies of the rich tradition of polish Christmas. The exhibition, bringing together centuries old pieces as well as recent works, emphasises on the architectural fantasies that make up a spectacular set for the Nativity representation. Well set in the use and customs, the "szopka", the Cracovian Nativity Scene is dressed as a multicoloured and slender building: the ornamented façade, the turrets and domes are inspired by the most beautiful monuments in Krakow. The figures appearing on the different floors and through the openings will provoke some surprise. The Holy family isn’t with just humble shepherds and gleaming Magi, but also with the famous dragon Wavel as well as different personalities from today’s political and cultural polish scene. Finally, the choice of materials - tin Leaf, silk paper, pearls, glass etc. - is not alien to the aesthetics that characterize the "szopka". An afternoon of storytelling In French, duration: 1 hour Sunday the 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd of December 2007, at 3pm
