At the request of el señorBrimstone, I uploaded some photos I snapped of this incredible tree, decorated with origami models of things in the museum, to my flickr account. Happy holidays.
Thank you for posting this spectacular origami tree !
Some of us are " allergic " to New York , in the winter...
( And it , for some obscure reason, is not available in late June ...)
Thereby, have little opportunity to actually see it .
And thanks to Brimstone, for the wisdom & insight to suggest the posting !
May I wish success to all who cope with the mountains & valleys of Life,
with all its peaks & depths, as well as Origami .
I might mention that David Lister, of BOS, has a nice article about the tree's history. http://www.britishorigami.info/academic ... _trees.php
A more detailed photo of the tree models , from 2009, may be found on the OUSA site . http://www.origami-usa.org/holidaytree2009
I'm sure that many of us Forum members enjoy sending in models each year .
Just a guess, of course, but I somewhat doubt that many of us have quite this many models on our own Xmas trees ! I'd be willing to bet, though, that most of us have at least some on our trees ...

That is awesome. We used an origami tree topper for a couple years (we find wild trees that don't always have a strong central stem, so paper is ideal), but I don't think I've ever made ornaments to hang.
I re-uploaded the photos to a free hosting site that stores them at the original resolution (2136x2848) because flickr decimated them to a stingy 768 x 1024. Unfortunately you have to click each image's thumbnail three times to get to the original. This is the best site I could find that keeps original image size.
Despite some camera shake, at angles where there was nothing to lean against, and low lighting, and distance, there is a fair amount of detail of individual models. Here's an example:
That's impressive!
