The Neapolitan Tree at The MET
The Annual Christmas Tree and Neapolitan Baroque Crèche
is alight in the Medieval Sculpture Hall of The Metropolitan Museum of Art through January 6.
This long-standing holiday tradition is a favorite of New Yorkers and visitors from around the world. A vivid eighteenth-century Neapolitan Nativity scene—embellished with a profuse array of diminutive, lifelike attendant figures and silk-robed angels hovering above—adorns the candlelit spruce. Recorded music and lighting ceremonies add to the enjoyment of the holiday display.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is located at 1000 5th Avenue, at 82nd Street.
Before or after your visit to the MET, enjoy a wonderful lunch, brunch, soup or snack at nearby Centolire Cafe & Panini, where healthful and delicious meal are offered at equally wonderful prices. Centolire Cafe & Panini is located at 1167 Madison Avenue, between 85th and 86th Streets.
