Come walk under cardboard trees, skip along a cardboard river, and scramble over a cardboard hill! For just two weeks in September, enjoy a surprising setting inside the Museum: a forest made of – you guessed it – cardboard! This one-of-a-kind experience was created with simple materials including boxes, egg cartons, and packing paper, and was built by hand by Museum staff and local students. While you’re here, be sure to use the materials and tools available to enhance the forest by building and adding your own creative cardboard elements.
