The Museum's annual Christmas tree and Neapolitan Baroque Crèche display are once again on view in the Medieval Sculpture Hall. The brightly lit, twenty-foot blue spruce—decorated with a collection of eighteenth-century Neapolitan angels and cherubs and a baroque crèche at its base—is set in front of the eighteenth-century Spanish choir screen from the Cathedral of Valladolid.
