Mid December. In the West, Christmas trees grow in cities, while we have New Year's. Practice shows that a miracle tree can be built from anything: the weirder, the more creative. We recently admired a Lego Christmas tree that was installed in London. But in the British capital there is at least one more "tree" that deserves attention. At the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Christmas tree was made from elastic cord!
They say that it was Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria, who brought the tradition of setting up a Christmas tree to Foggy Albion for Christmas. It is logical that in the museum, which bears the names of the famous spouses, they installed something traditional and at the same time creative - a Christmas tree made of unusual material. The four-meter "tree" is made of 5, 3 kilometers of light elastic cord with metal rings woven into it.
The design itself looks good. But pay attention to the shadow cast by the clever elements. It seems that snowflakes are scattered under the tree, and the whole Christmas tree casts a huge snowflake shadow. This beauty was created by masters from the Roso studio.

Christmas in the Romanov family: a groom tied to a Christmas tree and other royal gifts
The main holiday in pre-revolutionary Russia was not New Year, but Christmas. It was established to meet with the closest and dearest people.
