Find the Elves spelled out with Holly sprigs

Santa told us he's getting lots of wishes for model airplanes and spacecraft, and of course he wants to get it right. So he asked our permission to let the Elves measure and inspect our Collection so they can make the very best models. We are happy to help!

It's easy because the Museum is closed right now. And Elves can't get or give COVID-19 like people can, so they are completely safe to be inside the Museum. The Curator is happy because Elves can also be weightless so they won't hurt or leave marks on the artifacts! Lucky Elves!

We leave the Elves alone to do their work, but Santa says it is okay to share pictures of them -- a picture a day until Christmas Eve!

 

Can you find the Elves in each picture?

Follow us on social or come back here every day to see what the Elves are up to!
