Glencairn Museum’s ‘Follow the Star’ Exhibition Features Nativity Sets From Around the World
A 15-piece, hammered-copper Nativity on loan from the renowned Mepkin Abbey in South Carolina; a set from Laos showing the Holy Family inside a Hmong home with the newborn baby lying in a straw basket suspended from rafters; crèches crafted with native materials like birch bark, woven grass and recycled newspaper; and an elaborate traditional Italian Presepio — these unique pieces are part of an extraordinary array of Nativity sets.
