The world renowned Aluminum Tree & Aesthetically Challenged Seasonal Ornament Museum and Research Center (commonly known as ATOM) is on exhibit for the 3rd time at the Transylvania Heritage Museum. It will be open Wednesday through Saturday from Saturday, November 29 until Sat., December 20. Many examples of the ultimate sustainable Christmas trees that were chic in the 1950’s are included. ATOM has been featured in Southern Living, Money magazine, the New York Times, and heard on National Public Radio, BBC and seen in many other publications who are especially in-the-know. Revolving color wheels spotlight the tacky and outrageous. An Elvis themed tree sports cutouts of the rock 'n' roll icon, while a Marilyn Monroe tree reminds us of the beauty queen of the same era as the trees.
