Bonsai Exhibit at Lynden Opening Reception

Japanese larch

Free and open to the public.

We are delighted to announce the opening of the Bonsai Exhibit at Lynden, a collaboration with the Milwaukee Bonsai Society and the Milwaukee Bonsai Foundation. There is a deep affinity between sculpture and bonsai: shared aesthetic concerns; attention to scale, form, and proportion. And just as we marvel at the way the sculptures in the collection appear to alter as the landscape changes with the seasons, the living matter of bonsai allows us to consider temporality in a different way. Large sculptures, small trees: complementary sides of the same coin.

Located beside Big Lake, the Bonsai Exhibit includes a display area for bonsai, waterside teaching patio, and pollinator garden. The area will be a place to admire bonsai in season, to participate in workshops, or to enjoy the peaceful setting.

Please join us for an open house and reception to celebrate this addition to Lynden’s sculpture collection. Thereafter, the exhibition area will be open Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays and by appointment through October. Admission is free to members or with admission to the sculpture garden.
