St. Wendel's Nativity Museum

Mom & I went to visit one of the nearby towns, St. Wendel to see their Nativity museum.  I will say that it really was amazing how many Nativities they have in just a few rooms.  

Here is a shot into one of the rooms:


All of those green boxes along the sides of the walls are Nativities as well as looking into the room beyond you can see a few more.  

Here is mom in front of a nativity set in an igloo.


Here is another one I found interesting of an artist in a studio with several nativities to be seen in it.

The nativities were from literally all over the world and made out of materials like straw, wood, a coconut, a dried out pomegranite, bone, and so much more.

Both mom & I were impressed & will remember our visit for a long time.
