A Century of Santas
at Heritage Hall, Dollywood, Sevierville, Tennessee
Visitors to Dollywood, in Sevierville, Tennessee this holiday season can see “A Century of Santas” at the theme park’s Heritage Hall, where $1-million in artwork showcases Santa’s transformation throughout the years.
The exhibit, which includes work by Norman Rockwell, has on display the original oil paintings created by Sundblom, some of which are worth more than $100,000 each. Access to Coca-Cola’s collection came about when Coke offered to open its archives to Dollywood.
The exhibit is there until December 30th, the last day the park is open until spring. Here are some photos I snapped when I was there this past Thursday of the original paintings, and some of the artwork which came from them. Enjoy!
