American Museum of Natural History Origami Holiday Tree

American Museum of Natural History Origami Holiday Tree

The Museum of Natural History neighbors Central Park on the west side of the park. Can easily be reached if you are walking through Central Park.

An annual tradition, the delightfully decorated Origami Holiday Tree has marked the start of the holiday season at the Museum for more than 30 years. The tree will be decorated with handmade origami models inspired by items in the permanent halls, current exhibitions, and Museum collections. Volunteers begin folding in March to complete the hundreds of creations that will be displayed on the tree.

During the holiday season, knowledgable volunteers will be on hand to teach visitors of all ages the art of origami folding.
