With Glencairn Museum closed for major infrastructure replacement, the Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center will recreate Glencairn’s annual Christmas exhibition, World Nativities, for the New Haven community. Bethany J. Sheffer, curator of Christmas in the Castle, will present an illustrated talk via Zoom about this exciting new exhibition (November 11, 2022–February 5, 2023). Members of Glencairn Museum’s staff will also be on hand to discuss some of the almost 50 Nativities that will be on loan from the Glencairn collection. Both museums have annual Christmas exhibitions and have been loaning Nativities to each other for many years.

To plan a visit to see the Christmas in the Castle exhibition in New Haven, Connecticut, visit the Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center for information.
