Christmas at the Niguliste Museum and decorating the Christmas tree in cooperation with the interior decoration company Shishi have become beautiful traditions. We start the Christmas season with the lighting of the Niguliste Christmas tree on the first Sunday of Advent, 3 December.
For the seventh year in a row, the Christmas tree on display at the Niguliste Museum will be created by the interior decoration company Shishi. As has become customary, the theme of the Christmas tree will not be revealed until the lighting ceremony.
