Origami Holiday Tree

Upper West Side

Each holiday season, the American Museum of Natural History unveils a 13-foot tree adorned with over 1,000 hand-folded origami creatures. This year's "New Beginnings" theme celebrates the weird and wonderful life that evolved after dinosaurs went extinct: early mammals, birds, and ancient reptiles rendered in intricate paper.
