In a cosy atmosphere, special rarities from the Christmas season of earlier times are shown. **What to Expect:** In addition to countless charming items related to Christmas celebrations of days gone by, you’ll see an extensive collection of Christmas tree ornaments (1870–1960) made from a wide variety of materials, such as glass, cardboard, wire, paper, cotton wool, and more. Another highlight is the traditions of the pre-Christmas season (Advent, making chocolate, burning incense, etc.). You’ll also learn how glass Christmas tree ornaments were made in the past. Porcelain dolls from Thuringia (circa 1900), antique paper nativity scenes, and Christmas tree stands are sure to enchant you. Also on display is a beautiful “Fatschenkinderl,” all Christmas stamps from Austria, the first Christmas postmark from Steyr-Christkindl (1950), interesting Krampus, St. Nicholas, Christmas, and New Year’s cards (circa 1900), vintage Christmas wrapping paper, a field post Christmas tree, and much more...
