Discover Christmas in the Attic

‘Fun for the whole family!’

Discover Christmas in the Attic! Come with the whole family to Our Lord in the Attic Museum and admire the monument in Christmas spirit. There are as many as 20 different Christmas groups on display at the museum, from small ones for under the Christmas tree to very large ones. With our brand new Christmas play, children in the different groups can look for the protagonists of the Christmas story. Or they can follow the audio tour to learn more about the background of Christmas and other important holidays.
