Victorian Christmas

26th November 2011 - 12th February 2012

In a special exhibition running from 26 November 2011 until 12 February 2012, the Doll’s House Museum Basel is devoting itself to Victorian Christmas. Display cases with hundreds of Christmas ornaments, readings from Charles Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol” and short concerts by carol singers will radiate a sense of British Christmas tradition.

Many of our Christmas customs can be traced back to Christmas traditions in Great Britain during the Victorian age. The Christmas tree, Christmas cards, carol singers, Santa Claus and the all-important gifts stem from this era.
