## About

Winter Wonderland: Celebrations & Traditions Around the World transforms two expansive indoor levels of the Fernbank Museum into a vibrant celebration of global culture and festive heritage. Created in close collaboration with cultural organizations, consulates, and diverse community groups across Greater Atlanta, the exhibition showcases dozens of meticulously decorated evergreen trees and museum display cases representing winter customs, celebrations, and festive traditions from every inhabited continent.

Families can discover the symbolism, indigenous art, and festive artifacts of traditions spanning Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Las Posadas, Saint Lucia Day, Diwali, Eid, Epiphany, Native American winter solstices, and traditional Christmas customs from around the world. The holiday exhibition is completely sheltered indoors, making it an ideal destination for cold or rainy winter days. After admiring the trees, children can explore three floors of natural history dinosaur exhibits, stroll the elevated forest canopy boardwalk at WildWoods and Fernbank Forest, and take in a stunning nature documentary in the 4-story Giant Screen Theater—all included with standard daytime admission.
