World Nativities Exhibition at Glencairn Museum

Glencairn Museum’s World Nativities exhibition showcases Nativity scenes from around the globe, reflecting diverse cultures and faith traditions. Many settings are crafted by Bryn Athyn artist Kathleen Glenn Pitcairn. Glencairn Museum’s annual World Nativities exhibition presents dozens of three-dimensional Nativity scenes collected from around the world. For many Christians, the Nativity scene is a meaningful expression of religious faith, providing a compelling visual focus during the Christmas season. World Nativities shows how artists adapt the Nativity scene to represent their own spiritual, intellectual, cultural, and regional environments. Settings for many of the Nativities have been created by Bryn Athyn artist Kathleen Glenn Pitcairn.
