Everyone who grew up in Melbourne understands the magic of the Myer Christmas windows. Every year the display is different, and every year the scenes make the children of Melbourne squeal with delight.
Melbourne Museum has created a very special exhibition to celebrate the Myer Christmas windows of years gone by. The museum asked for help in creating the exhibition, putting a call out for Melburnians to share their memories of the Myer Christmas windows.
The exhibition itself includes more than 250 quirky and interesting characters from windows in past years. There will also be sketches, prototypes, props and animatronics. Many of these creations are based on children's storybooks, and they're sure to delight young visitors – and perhaps create pangs of nostalgia for those with their own memories of Christmas as children.
