For more than forty years, the American Museum of Natural History has erected a giant Origami Holiday Tree, and this year the tradition will continue. On Wednesday, November 25th, the day before Thanksgiving, a 13-foot tree festooned with one thousand brilliantly colored origami cranes will be unveiled. The theme of this year’s tree is Cranes and Colors.
Cranes are symbols of peace and good wishes as New York continues to endure the many challenges posed by COVID-19. The decorations also draw inspiration from The Nature of Color special exhibition that explores the role and power of color in the natural world and in ourselves. In addition to the paper cranes, the tree will also bear hundreds of other models relating to the Museum’s exhibitions, collections and icons. It will be on display until January 10, 2021.
