The museum proudly maintains a remarkable collection of 150 bonsai trees, each meticulously cared for and considered among the finest examples in the world. This collection is not only vast but also the most geographically diverse in the U.S., featuring trees from Canada, China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and the United States.
Visitors can admire 60 of these exquisite trees on display at any given time, set against the backdrop of a grand outdoor area that echoes the elegance of a fine art museum.
