This Is A 'What Is It Post?'

the artwork is in the Victoria and Albert museum,

in the South Kensington Grand Entrance,

and will be on display until 5 January 2025,

well what ever it is it is big, 

and intricately made, so have you guessed yet? the clue is when the display finishes, yes it is a Christmas tree! Anne Lomax designed the installation as a spiralling column that forms the shape of a traditional Christmas tree, according to Lomax, the whimsical installation was designed to "evoke the feelings of joy and child-like wonder" and embody the Christmas spirit, "My design for the 2025 V&A Christmas Tree uses the iconic V&A dome columns as a starting point but gives them an actual playful twist, embodying the 'Christmas Spirit' through a spectacle of light," Lomax said, 

apparently it is well liked, "Lighting up and lifting spirits this festive season, we are thrilled to commission Anna Lomax for this year's V&A Christmas tree installation," senior curator Meneesha Kellay said, "Delighting visitors with her playful site-specific response, Anna has taken inspiration from the iconic columns in our Grand Entrance." the artwork forms the latest of the museum's annual Christmas installations and will remain on display until 5 January 2025, looking at it I feel our Christmas tree will be a tad overdressed!
