An annual tradition for this 53rd tree, the delightfully decorated Origami Holiday Tree marks the start of the Museum’s holiday season. The theme of this year’s tree is Jumping for Joy, inspired by the year 2024 being a “leap” year. Highlighting all of these very animated animals was more than what we could display around the tree. So you can enjoy many of these leapers on the tree and among the dazzling star mobiles. Our tree designers, Ros Joyce and Talo Kawasaki, want to thank all of the many volunteers for their artistry and time, as well as the staff of OrigamiUSA and the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City who make this labor of love possible.
