A Look at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Annual Angel Tree and Neapolitan Baroque Crèche

Taking a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of NYC, I finally got to visit the Annual Angel Tree and Neapolitan Baroque Crèche installation at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. One of my favorite Adventide and Christmastide traditions, it is (in my humble opinion) the best Christmas tree and Nativity scene in New York City, including the magnificent Norway spruce in Rockefeller Center. The Met's 20-foot blue spruce and its splendid array of 18th-century presepio figurines from Naples will be on view until 6 January 2025. It is a must-see when visiting the Big Apple. Buon Natale!
