Rockefeller Center is the epicenter for Holiday Magic in New York City, with its beautiful tree
and light decorations, but there are many wonderful places to explore to find inspiration
during this season!

During this virtual tour we will take a close look at Rockefeller Center and the history of its
Christmas celebration, as well as its wealth of public art, designed to inspire us throughout
the year. Another noteworthy Christmas Tree is the one at the Met, with its Neapolitan
Baroque Crèche, depicting a Mediterranean harbor town scene and placed in the Medieval
Sculpture Hall. We will also make a visit to The Jewish Museum, which has the largest
collection of Hanukkah Lamps in the world, c. 1,050 outstanding designs from countries
around the world, from ancient to contemporary - we'll see some of the highlights! Our tour
will conclude with Kiki Smith's beautiful new permanent window for the Eldridge Street
Synagogue.
