Myer Christmas windows
It wouldn’t be Christmas in Melbourne without the Myer Christmas windows display. It is one of Melbourne’s most loved festive traditions and it will continue for the 54th time with the unveiling of the Myer Christmas windows for 2009.
Each year the Christmas windows artisans are charged with the task of creating a wonderland of excitement for children of all ages to enjoy. The theme for the windows is carefully selected from books, nursery rhymes, the theatre and ballet, and film. Some years, a special theme is developed specifically for the windows. Once selected, the theme is a tightly held secret that generates enormous interest amongst the public and the media alike. So there will be no hints...
More than one million visitors enjoy strolling along the Bourke Street mall to see the new theme every year.
The Myer Christmas Windows have closed for 2009 but will be back in November 2010
