The Museum of Natural History in New York City decorates its holiday tree with origami ornaments each year!
The origami ornaments are made to represent many objects that are in the museum… including dinosaurs! Origami experts design complex plans to create some of the more complicated figures. Some are so elaborate it can take weeks to make them. People volunteer from around the world to create these origami figures. Some of the plans are even sent to Japan to be made.
