Shout out to Conan O’Brien’s first guest on his new late-night show, Nutcracker Museum curator Arlene Wagner, a former ballet teacher who used to be involved with the production of…wait for it…The Nutcracker!
She started the Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum in Washington State about 15 years ago with the mission “to foster and encourage the interest of the general public of the importance of nuts in the diets of humans throughout history and in the evolution of the nutcracker”. There are over 6000 nutcrackers in the collection.
Now that’s a lot of nuts!
