| Description: | Exhibit Extended to February 1, 2010 The exhibit, Celebrating the Season: Icons of Saint Nicholas, places eleven Saint Nicholas icons together in the upper South Gallery-on display to the public for the first time-including the first icon acquired by museum founder Gordon Lankton in 1991. Visitors are able to review and compare 14 additional works spanning four centuries, shown throughout the Museum. Saint Nicholas was known to be wise and performed good works in secret for the poor and the oppressed. His many deeds entered the realm of myth and contribute to stories of Father Christmas, St. Nick, and ultimately, Santa Claus. Today, families around the world celebrate the Feast of Saint Nicholas on December 6th by placing their shoes on the hearth so that the saint will fill them with treats. |
