Description
To take part in a New York City Christmas tradition unlike any other, go to the Medieval Sculpture Hall at The Met. You'll see a 20-foot blue spruce tree dotted with cherubs and angels surrounded by a detailed Neapolitan nativity scene composed of more than two hundred 18th-century figures. Complemented by seasonal music and a tree-lighting ceremony, it's a true holiday delight.
