New Museum Favorites Advent Countdown Calendars

Met-inspired Advent activities for families.

Decorated with details from a vintage Christmas card (1952) in The Met’s Jefferson R. Burdick Collection of American ephemera, this charming Advent countdown is sure to inspire artful anticipation this holiday season. Inside perforated compartments for each December day until Christmas are individual envelopes of puzzle pieces, which come together to create 24 mini images of various Museum artworks and objects. Plus, each puzzle is magnetic for easy display. Randomized dates ensure that each day reveals an unexpected Met surprise.
