Freedom Tree celebrates initially the 200th anniversary of the birth of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1819.

Freedom Tree 最初是為了慶祝英國維多利亞女王和亞伯特親王在 1819 年誕生兩百週年紀念。

there was a contest and the task was to redesign a Christmas tree for a more modern way.

My intention was to design something to make the people stop so physically and mentally, so that they stand there and think about the original meaning of the season of Advent and to make people think about her own life.

Prince Albert popularized the idea of a Christmas tree, particularly for the middle classes in the 19th century.

The idea of the city of Coburg sending a tree to England every year during the life of Prince Albert, there's something about the Freedom Tree coming and continuing that tradition.
