Holiday Tree

The Origami Holiday Tree is an annual event produced by OrigamiUSA at the American Museum of Natural History. Each year, OrigamiUSA and our team of volunteers designs and produces a stunning tree in the main hall of the Museum, decorated with hundreds of origami figures folded and sent in by members and origami aficionados from around the world. This gorgeous spectacle has been an institute in New York City for many years, and is a linchpin of the relationship between OrigamiUSA and the Museum of Natural History.

Museum visitors, staff, and volunteers are so happy with this year's origami holiday tree, "Folding the Museum." Many thanks for the time, talents, and generosity of our origami community.
