From beautifully lit vessels to merry Take and Makes and starry trails, Christmas at the Museum takes on the theme of Lanterns and Lights with a magical nautical twist.
Decked in festive lights and sparkly stars, traditional wooden boats carry Christmas cheer. Using the Flying Flotilla, hung high from the Museum’s ceiling, the boats are lit with subtle ocean coloured hues and set amongst glistening star bursts.
