Tree Museum Opens in Bronx

100 trees give voice to 100 perspectives featured in the Grand Concourse's TREE MUSEUM. Irish artist Katie Holten created this public art project to celebrate the communities and ecosystems along this 100 year-old boulevard. Visitors can listen in on local stories and the intimate lives of trees offered by current and former residents: from beekeepers to rappers, historians to gardeners, school kids to scientists.
Tree No. 92 - Mitchell Joachim discusses growing homes from trees. Other speakers include; Daniel Libeskind, Toshiko Mori, and Majora Carter.
