About

Stepping through the entrance, sunlight scatters down between the tree trunks. The leaves of Canarium, a genus within the olive family, sway lightly in the breeze, and an exotic fragrance seems to cut through the air. The exhibition space blends trees, light, and scent into a natural setting that feels free of artificial walls. Visitors feel as though they are walking through a garden, losing track of time amid the shapes and colors of the plants.
