Published by under gallery

Grand Rapids, MI (PRWEB) October 31, 2011

Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, one of the nations most significant sculpture and botanic experiences, is proud to host the 17th annual Christmas and Holiday Traditions Around the World exhibition on display November 22 through January 8. The exhibition highlights more than 40 international holiday trees and displays.

This years exhibition centers around the theme Celebration of Light, showcasing the many cultures and holidays that celebrate light or enlightenment.

The symbol of light can have many different meanings, said Lisa Roo, Assistant Curator of Special Exhibitions. Each culture incorporates light differently, but many find it especially important during the long winter months of darkness.

Several traditions utilizing light and illumination will be showcased, including Diwali, Indias Hindu Festival of Lights, the Chinese New Year Lantern Festival, the Hanukkah Festival of Lights and Saint Lucia Day, Swedens celebration of the patron saint of sight and light.

Visitors can learn about the menorahs importance during Hanukkah, view the ornate lanterns carried in Chinese New Year parades and gaze at the illuminated Moravian star hanging in the five-story Tropical Conservatory, said Roo. It is truly a multicultural experience.

Mainstays of the exhibition include the Germany Tree which is adorned with handmade glass ornaments and homemade springerle cookies; the England tree with antique Christmas cards and mistletoe; and the beautiful Eid ul-Fitr display, which celebrates the end of Ramadan.

A returning visitor favorite, the Railway Garden, expands through three lush indoor gardens with a model train traveling past glittering lights and over high trestles. Within the garden are 25 buildings modeled after Grand Rapids landmarks, all handmade of natural materials by railway garden designer Paul Busse. Additions to this years display include the Van Andel Institute, Helen DeVos Childrens Hospital, Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum, Maya Lins Ecliptic sculpture at Rosa Parks Circle, and Alexander Calders sculpture La Grande Vitesse.

Meijer Gardens transforms into a botanic wonderland with poinsettias, orchids and amaryllis. Carriage rides through the candle-lit sculpture park, the smell of evergreens as visitors enter the building and the sounds of carolers and hand bells make it a festive place to enjoy the holiday season.

The exhibition began in 1995 and has since become a holiday tradition in itself to more than 50,000 visitors each year. A variety of family-friendly activities are available on Tuesday evenings and weekends.
