SUMMARY:The Masks of Christmas
DESCRIPTION:
 The Ground Floor Gallery will feature four different 
 forms of Christmas masks from the U.S., 
 Germany and Russia.  Included are traditional 
 Santa Claus masks made from paper mache, buckram, 
 and plastic, mostly worn by father or 
 uncle when playing Santa for the family; die-cut 
 heavy paper masks given away as advertisements 
 by various businesses for children to 
 wear;  Russian masks worn at holiday festivities 
 with the Soviet-era version of Santa Claus, 
 Grandfather Frost; and German and Austrian 
 masks worn to portray St. Nicholas, who brings 
 gifts and treats for good children, and his 
 devilish traveling companion Krampus, who brings 
 the threat of punishment for naughty children. 
 Each of the four mask categories will 
 also be augmented with life-size mannequins 
 in masks and full costume. \n\n
