World Nativities Exhibition 2012 at Glencairn Museum

See how Christians around the world have adapted the Nativity scene to represent their own national, regional and local cultures, in Glencairn Museum's fourth annual exhibition featuring crèches from around the world. The three-dimensional Nativity scenes, made from local materials with regionally distinctive clothing, animals and structures, complement the Museum's collection of Nativity art dating from medieval times through the early 20th century. "Follow the Star" includes crèches made in countries traditionally associated with production of Nativity sets, such as Germany, Italy, Poland and Latin America. It also includes some made in countries typically not associated with crèches, such as Tanzania, Cameroon, Egypt and Ethiopia. Settings for the Nativities have been created by Bryn Athyn artisan Kathleen Glenn Pitcairn.
