Lanterns and Lights Event at NMMC
17 December 2022 - 1 January 2023
This Christmas holiday enjoy magically lit boats, merry Make & Takes and a Museum Trail.
Christmas has arrived
Decked in festive lights and sparkly stars, traditional wooden boats carry Christmas cheer. Using the Flying Flotilla, hung high from the Museum’s ceiling, the boats are lit with subtle ocean coloured hues and set amongst glistening star bursts.
Lantern display
See real and rare nautical lamps and navigation aids where sailors used the stars to guide them home.
Make & Take
In our crafting Make & Take sessions create a lantern inspired by starry constellations
Museum Trail
Follow the trail through the Museum and find all the constellations hidden around the building.
