Christmas at Tidens Samling

Explore the details of Christmas
Experience the atmosphere in period rooms and feel how the history of Christmas comes alive, close enough to explore. At Tidens Samling, Christmas is something you feel. The homely period rooms are dressed for the season, so a sense of calm and cosiness greets you right away. From table settings to decorations, the story of Christmas unfolds in everyday scenes that invite you to slow down and look closer.

Hands-on, home-like moments
The museum’s relaxed, domestic feel makes the exhibition welcoming and down to earth. Notice textures, colours and the small rituals that shaped Christmas across different decades. The unhurried pace shows how ornaments, lights and simple traditions create warmth and recognition.

Everyday Christmas, up close
Rather than grand gestures, the focus is on the familiar: woven paper hearts, little gifts, table décor and that favourite chair in the corner. Memories surface naturally, making it easy to share stories, talk about customs and find inspiration for your own celebration at home.

Small finds and gift ideas
After soaking up the atmosphere, drop by the shop for charming bits suited to Secret Santa, hostess gifts and small surprises. These well-chosen finds extend the experience and bring a touch of Tidens Samling into your own home.

Plan your visit
Give yourself time to linger and let the calm settle. The exhibition is easy to combine with a stroll in the city. Practical details are available on the museum’s website. Come for the Christmas spirit, stay for the cosiness—and leave with fresh ideas for the season.
