An annual American Museum of Natural History tradition, the delightfully decorated Origami Holiday Tree and two merrily lit 19-foot holiday barosaurs welcome visitors throughout the holiday season.

This year’s 13-foot tree, New Beginnings, celebrates the spectacular variety of species that evolved after an asteroid impact ended the age of dinosaurs some 66 million years ago, inspired by the new exhibition Impact: The End of the Age of Dinosaurs.

Topped with a golden asteroid, the tree will feature more than 1,000 origami pieces including models of new species of animals and insects for which the dinosaurs’ mass extinction paved the way. The tree will also feature beloved Museum exhibits including the Blue Whale, as well as origami pieces depicting dinosaurs and other extinct reptiles—pterosaurs who filled the skies, mosasaurs and plesiosaurs who ruled the seas, and Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus rex, which walked the Earth during the Cretaceous Period.

Advance ticket reservations are required.
