Trigger Warning
Glittering gems, swirls of colors, elaborate filigree, whimsical designs – it’s the JEWELS of the SEASON: Holidays at the Timken with the Schlappi Collection of Hord and Schlappi ornaments that have adorned the Timken Museum of Art holiday tree since 1988, and this season the display will be greatly expanded. This year the Timken partnered with San Diego State University School of Theatre, Television, and Film to create a custom, multimedia design to showcase the holiday treasures. Faculty and graduate students infused the long-standing holiday tree decoration tradition with a dash of creativity to create their concept, engineer the design and seamlessly display the ornaments among the Timken’s tapestries. Together, the organizations created a holiday vision to highlight the personality and whimsical elements of the ornaments, while capturing the holiday spirit. The Timken will sparkle with decades of craftsmanship in a contemporary twist. The ornaments will interact with the museum patrons, masterpieces and newly installed central seating area.
