Glencairn Museum’s annual World Nativities exhibition presents dozens of three-dimensional Nativity scenes collected from around the world. For many Christians, the Nativity scene is a meaningful expression of religious faith, providing a compelling visual focus during the Christmas season. World Nativities shows how artists adapt the Nativity scene to represent their own spiritual, intellectual, cultural, and regional environments. Settings for many of the Nativities have been created by Bryn Athyn artist Kathleen Glenn Pitcairn.

This exhibition presents a collection of 25 paintings by American artist Rudolph “Rudy” Bostic (1941–2021). Celebrated for his bold and expressive color palette, Bostic developed a distinctive technique using enamel and house paint on cardboard. A longtime member of the Second African Baptist Church in Savannah, Georgia, Bostic drew inspiration from both the Bible and the works of masters such as Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci, and Michelangelo. His art has appeared in folk art museums and galleries throughout the southern United States. In this exhibition, Bostic’s paintings explore a range of biblical themes and stories, from the creation of Adam to scenes from the life of Christ.
