Newsletter from The Nutcracker Lady
Each year we send displays for the holidays to another museum somewhere in
the US. This year we sent one
to the Cowlitz County Historical Museum in our own state of Washington, and
another to the Paine Art Center and Gardens at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, from whom
we received these delightful photos.
The first photo shows an overview of the Gothic Gallery where the
nutcrackers are displayed.
The second photo shows carved lever nutcrackers from Switzerland, Norway,
France, Germany and Poland which range from the 17th through 20th
centuries
The third photo has a variety of lever and screw nutcrackers of various
styles and materials, including an ivory screw and a betel cutter from
India.
In the months ahead the staff will be focusing our energies on preparing for the exciting expansion scheduled for 2019, so we will be doing the newsletter quarterly rather than each month. We will however, put more frequent introductions of new specimens when they arrive at the museum. We are lucky here, because it is like Christmas, when the postman brings a delivery from afar.
Merry Christmas to everyone from the Board of Directors and the Staff of the Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum!
