Holiday Magic 2024
Museum campus lights up for the holidays! You won’t want to miss this beautiful tradition. Over 250 creative palettes designed by artists from across the country will be on display on magnificent trees, including several brand new creations for 2024. Miss Florence’s historic boardinghouse is decked for a 1910 holiday with opulent mantels and delightful décor in the period rooms. And in the Marshfield house, enjoy sumptuous décor when you join us for a seating at Miss Florence’s Teas.

Love the painted palettes? Every year since 2004, artists from all over the country have added to the palettes on Miss Florence’s Artist Trees which are displayed in the Krieble Gallery.
In 2019 we reached over 200 palettes—so many that we need four delightfully-decorated trees to present all of them. And we’re still adding! To commemorate the event, we published Miss Florence’s Artist Trees: Celebrating a Tradition of Painted Palettes, which showcases each of the works of art on its own page. Look for it online here and in the FloGris Shop.
Enjoy History Blog posts that feature hand-crafted Christmas cards by Lyme Art Colony artists. Learn how artist Thomas Nason spent Christmas during World War I.
