I like this kind of event @ChanneLing . Have you seen my post Winter Fairy Tale in Poland ? Places like this are more and more popular in my country year after year. There are open only seasonally during winter time, as the day is short, so the exhibition can be open longer for the visitors.

Thank you for sharing. :blush:
