December 3 - December 24 The Trees of Christmas

The holiday season is captured through a unique and meaningful exhibition that provides insight about the people of the Shoals area:  who they are, what they do and the things they think are important.  Community groups and individuals create an alluring exhibition using nine 12 foot tall live spruce and fir trees to tell their stories.  Decorators use a variety of uncharacteristic techniques and materials to carry out both traditional and unexpected trees.  A wonderland of visual pleasure is in store for audiences who attend this one of a kind exhibit.  The exhibition of decorated trees, the smell of fresh trees and special museum decorations make for a pleasurable experience that has become a part of many family traditions.
