November 23rd-January 10th
An annual tradition, the delightfully decorated Origami Holiday Tree has marked the start of the holiday season at the Museum for more than 40 years. This years theme is mighty and microscopic life. Volunteers begin folding in March to complete the hundreds of creations that will be displayed on the tree. During the season knowledgeable volunteers will be on hand to teach visitors the art of origami folding.
