The Met continues a longstanding holiday tradition with the presentation of its Christmas tree. The magnificently lit, twenty-foot blue spruce looms over a vivid eighteenth-century Neapolitan Nativity scene, surrounded by an abundant array of lifelike figures with silk-robed angels hovering above. The scene describes in detail the Mediterranean harbor town's multicultural population.
The installation is set in front of the eighteenth-century Spanish choir screen from the Cathedral of Valladolid in the Museum's Medieval Sculpture Hall.
So get out your sketchbook and join us on THURSDAY December 12, 2025
This will be the last Weekday Sketch meet up for the year. Wishing you all a most joyous holiday season and a happy and "Sketching" New Year!
To continue our “Met Gallery of the Month” winter series, let’s explore the Greek and Roman Galleries!
The Museum's collection of Greek and Roman art comprises more than thirty thousand works and is among the most comprehensive in North America. Objects are arranged in magnificent Beaux-Arts spaces created for the collection in 1917 by the architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White. The grand, barrel-vaulted gallery in the center of the installation is one of New York City's great interior spaces, flooded with natural light and ideal for exhibiting large-scale marble sculpture, bronzes, and vases.
