This workshop is for adults only. An additional workshop for all ages is available on Saturday, 10th December, 12-2pm. Come down to King's Museum this winter and take part in our special festive workshop. Examine lamps from around the world, learn about different winter festivals, and create your own paper lantern to take home with you.
Winter in Aberdeen, and the damp, dark nights are drawing in - it can be a depressing season when you’re this far north. As an antidote to those long-night blues, King’s Museum is hosting a special festive event to lighten your heart and banish the gloom.
Light in the Dark draws on the large number of beautiful lamps in the University Collections, focusing on lamps, candles and lanterns of the many religious festivals and celebrations which take place in winter. Visitors can examine examples of these up close, learn about the importance and significance of light in religion, and create their own paper lantern to take home.
Booking is essential. To book your place(s), please contact King’s Museum by calling (01224) 274330 or email kingsmuseum@abdn.ac.uk.
