Interpreting Christmas at Museums and Historic Sites is a comprehensive guide to the interpretation of Christmas for manager, curators, and educators at house museums and historic sites in the United States. It shows how Christmas celebrations evolved to today along with regional differences to help create a distinct and accurate presentation for house museums of different periods and locations. It describes how to research and design Christmas programs and events, including tours of period rooms, festivals, performances, and modern decorator show houses, while protecting your site's collections and architecture. An extensive bibliography of books and articles about Christmas published in the last twenty years provides additional resources for museum staff.

Industry Reviews

This indispensable guide offers a feast of practical and thoughtful ideas for museum programming around Christmas and other winter holidays. The authors provide crucial historical, cultural, and religious context and share wisdom derived from a wide range of institutional experience. Useful advice includes both highly specific details (such as where to find collection-safe Christmas greenery) and multiple, energizing perspectives on creating welcoming, inclusive, accurate, community-driven--and popular!--seasonal exhibitions and events.

--Gretchen Buggeln, professor of Art History & Humanities, Valparaiso University
