Steinhardt Conservatory: Bonsai Museum
Across from the Aquatic House, to the left of the Trail of Evolution, is the C.V. Starr Bonsai Museum, where BBG's famous collection of indoor and temperate or outdoor bonsai is exhibited in a Japanese-style architectural setting.
BBG's bonsai collection is considered one of the finest in the world. It is the second largest on public display outside Japan, featuring as many as 100 specimens at any given time. Some of the trees in the collection are well over a century old.
A stylized verandah complete with tokonoma, or alcove, looks out onto the entire exhibit. Text panels introduce the history of bonsai and explain culture and care.
