00:32.066 --> 00:38.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
>> IT'S CALLED A CRECHE.

00:33.866 --> 00:41.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
IT IS A TRADITIONAL NATIVITY

00:35.666 --> 00:41.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
SCENE WITH THE INFANT JESUS, THE

00:38.666 --> 00:44.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
HOLY FAMILY AND THE THREE WISE

00:41.000 --> 00:44.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:10%
MEN.

00:41.266 --> 00:46.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
BUT THIS ONE HAS A CAST OF

HUNDREDS.

00:44.600 --> 00:50.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
>> A CRECHE IS A SCENE THAT AT

00:46.900 --> 00:53.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THE VERY CORE SHOWS THE SCENE OF

00:49.333 --> 00:54.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
THE BIRTH OF CHRIST.

00:50.766 --> 00:55.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
BUT THEN IN THE NEOPOLITAN

00:53.366 --> 00:57.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
TRADITION THAT WE ARE SHOWING

00:54.400 --> 00:58.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
YOU WILL SEE THAT THAT EXPANDS

00:55.900 --> 01:02.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
TO A CAST OF CHARACTERS.

00:57.166 --> 01:04.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
SO IT INCLUDES THE ARRIVAL OF

00:58.700 --> 01:07.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THE THREE KINGS, AND IT INCLUDES

01:02.666 --> 01:08.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%

STREET LIFE OR CHARACTERS FROM

01:10.233 --> 01:16.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%

01:14.466 --> 01:21.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> YES, THE SURROUNDING SETTING

01:16.000 --> 01:22.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
IS NAPLES NOT BETHLEHEM.

01:19.066 --> 01:22.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%

CENTURY.

01:22.966 --> 01:29.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
IT IS A MIX OF THE CONTEMPORARY

01:25.100 --> 01:30.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
FOR THE ERA WITH THE ORIGIN

01:28.100 --> 01:34.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
STORY OF CHRIST.

01:29.000 --> 01:35.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THIS CRECHE WAS MADE IN NAPLES

01:30.733 --> 01:37.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
BEGINNING IN THE MID-1700'S BY

01:34.333 --> 01:38.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%

01:38.266 --> 01:43.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
THEY WENT FOR BAROQUE.

>> THE MAKING OF THE CRECHE

01:42.700 --> 01:47.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
BECAME PARTICULAR.

01:43.433 --> 01:49.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
IT BECAME AN ASSEMBLY LINE

01:45.800 --> 01:50.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
PROCESS WHERE ONE ART TIFT WOULD

01:47.366 --> 01:52.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
SPECIAL LIGHT IN MAKING THE

01:49.233 --> 01:54.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
HEADS OF THE FIGURES AND

01:50.966 --> 01:58.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
PAINTING THEM AND ANOTHER ARTIST

01:52.300 --> 02:00.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
WOULD MAKE THE WIRE ARMATURE OF

01:54.633 --> 02:00.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
THE BODY THAT CAN BE MOLDED.

01:58.400 --> 02:02.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
AN ARTIST WOULD MAKE THE

02:00.266 --> 02:04.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
COSTUME.

02:00.666 --> 02:08.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
ARTIST WOULD MAKE THE ANIMALS

02:02.966 --> 02:10.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THAT POPULATE THE SCENE AND ALSO

02:04.966 --> 02:14.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
THE SMALL STILL LIFE OBJECTS SO

02:08.500 --> 02:16.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THE SILVER TABLE SETTINGS WERE

02:10.200 --> 02:19.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
MADE BY A SILVER SMITH AND THE

02:14.500 --> 02:23.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%

02:25.066 --> 02:30.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
FILLED TO THE CORNERS WITH

02:27.066 --> 02:32.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
CRAFTED FIGURESSISM THE FIGURES

02:28.366 --> 02:33.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
ARE MADE FROM A MIX OF MATERIALS

02:30.633 --> 02:35.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
AND WE HAVE ON VIEW IN THE

02:32.200 --> 02:37.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
GALLERY AN EXAMPLE HOW THE

02:33.700 --> 02:39.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
FIGURES ARE PUT TOGETHER.

02:35.000 --> 02:41.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THE BODY OF THE FIGURE IS A WIRE

ARMATURE THAT IS COVERED IN A

02:39.533 --> 02:46.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
HEMP LIKE, STRAW LIKE MATERIAL

TO THE ARMS AND LEGS CAN BE BENT

02:44.166 --> 02:50.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
TO HELP THE AASSEMBLY OF THE

02:46.600 --> 02:52.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%

02:50.400 --> 02:58.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%

WOOD ORATOR RA COT TA AS WELL

02:54.833 --> 03:00.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
AND A REAL SILK COSTUME IS PUT

02:58.000 --> 03:02.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
ON TOP.

02:58.900 --> 03:03.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
>> THE COSTUMES ARE THE REASON

03:00.633 --> 03:06.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
THE CRECHE MUST REMAIN IN THE

03:02.233 --> 03:08.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
DARK FOR MUCH OF THE YEAR.

03:03.700 --> 03:10.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
>> WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO EXHIBIT

03:06.000 --> 03:12.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THE CRECHE FOR ABOUT SIX WEEKS A

03:08.733 --> 03:15.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
YEAR AND THAT IS BECAUSE THE

03:10.666 --> 03:16.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
STERILES ARE FRAGILE --

03:12.433 --> 03:18.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
MATERIALS ARE FRAGILE AND THE

03:15.033 --> 03:20.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
SILK COSTUMES ARE LIKELY TO FADE

03:16.833 --> 03:23.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
SO IT HAS TO REST IN THE

03:18.666 --> 03:25.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
DARKNESS FOR A MAJORITY OF THE

03:20.300 --> 03:25.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
YEAR WHICH IS A GREAT EXCUSE FOR

03:23.100 --> 03:27.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
US TO CELEBRATE IT AT

03:25.233 --> 03:29.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%

03:30.733 --> 03:37.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
THE ART INSTITUTE ACQUIRED

03:33.600 --> 03:39.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THEIRS FROM AN ITALIAN COLLECTOR

03:35.666 --> 03:40.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
IN 2013.

03:37.266 --> 03:42.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
IT WAS ASSEMBLED AND COMES FROM

03:39.466 --> 03:45.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
DIFFERENT SOURCES.

03:40.333 --> 03:45.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THOUGH IT'S ONLY ON VIEW 40 DAYS

03:42.533 --> 03:47.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
A YEAR, THE CRECHE IS TOO BIG TO

03:45.233 --> 03:49.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:12.5%
MOVE.

03:45.533 --> 03:50.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
>> WHEN WE CLOSE ON THIS

03:47.333 --> 03:52.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
EXHIBITION WE INSTALL A WALL IN

03:49.166 --> 03:53.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
FRONT OF IT IN THE GALLERY AND

03:50.933 --> 03:55.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
KEEP IT IN THE DARK FOR THE

03:52.700 --> 03:57.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
MAJORITY OF THE YEAR.

03:53.600 --> 04:01.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
WHEN YOU COME AND VISIT THE

03:55.366 --> 04:02.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%

03:57.300 --> 04:05.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
HIDING BEHIND THE WALL.

04:01.366 --> 04:08.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%

04:02.833 --> 04:10.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
COMES FROM THE FRENCH FOR CRIB.
