Christmas Exhibition “I Love Baking Cinnamon Stars”
Overview
Intro
Christmas Time at the Children's Museum
From Grittibänz and chocolate St. Nicholas figures to Christmas cookies and the Three Kings’ Cake—sweet treats are everywhere at the end of the year, following the rhythm of the festivities from St. Nicholas Day to Epiphany. The scents evoke memories and bring past Christmas celebrations back to life.
But these Christmas treats also carry stories within them, which the exhibition explores. Before the cinnamon star ends up on the cookie plate, the chocolate in the Advent calendar, or the king in the cake, hardworking bakers must first invent recipes, shop for ingredients, and mix dough. And where do cinnamon, sugar, orange, and vanilla actually come from in our holiday kitchens? The exhibition traces the journeys of these ingredients and unfolds a piece of global history right under the Christmas tree.
We’re offering a diverse program of activities in conjunction with the exhibition:
November 14–15
Sugar-Sweet Cinnamon Stars
We’ll decorate a large cinnamon star with glitter and sparkles.
