English Heritage | Coburg Christmas Tree at Osborne 2023 @EnglishHeritage | Uploaded 10 months ago | Updated 23 hours ago
Osborne on the Isle of Wight is the beloved seaside home of Queen Victoria, and this year will be host to a spectacular contemporary installation, and reimagining of the Christmas tree. The ‘Freedom’ tree is made from a series of metal poles which suspend 200 ornately folded white paper origami birds, each engraved in silver with the initials ‘V&A’. It will be on display at Osborne until 7 January 2024. The work, designed by Anna Hünnerkopf, was originally made to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s birth. It is intended to encourage people to have a moment of peaceful reflection during the busy Christmas period.
