This intimate exhibition comprises beautifully handcrafted Nativity scenes made from wood, precious metals, felt and even bread dough, alongside other seasonal artifacts. 

Established in 2007 by Kildare County Council, the collection includes items donated from consulates and embassies in Ireland and abroad alongside pieces specifically sourced for this exhibition. More than 30 countries are represented in this charming exhibition which will enchant both children and adults and provide an insight into the customs and traditions many cultures celebrate at this time of year.

It is very special to have such an exhibition which is not limited to a Christian tradition but also illustrates the connection between worldwide celebrations and festivals of light at this time of year. 

As part of this exhibition, we are delighted to offer a series of FREE school tours, led by curator of the exhibition; Susan Boyle.

The tours will take place on the following dates in December:

  • Monday 8th
  • Tuesday 9th
  • Wednesday 10th
  • Monday 15th
  • Tuesday 16th
  • Thursday 18th


To book a school tour, call the box office on 045 448327.

**Tour and workshop are FREE but booking is essential.**
