A pillar of culture and holiday refinement, the Heritage Museum of Art brings timeless elegance to your Christmas in the City display. With grand columns, festive wreaths, and names like Matisse, Vermeer, and Rubens etched above the entry, this stately building pays tribute to the masters of art. The museum’s holiday exhibit features a nod to Thomas Nast, famed illustrator and creator of the modern image of Santa Claus, whose portrait graces the front facade.
This is the kind of place where city dwellers in wool coats and scarves spend a quiet afternoon escaping the winter chill, where students sketch in notebooks, and where families come to admire both the art and the festive decorations. A perfect centerpiece for collectors who appreciate history, beauty, and a touch of sophistication in their village.
