SUMMARY:Trolls: A Field Study
DESCRIPTION:Presented by:\nSomething extraordinary is coming to Asheville this winter! The North Carolina Arboretum and Explore Asheville are elated to announce the arrival of Trolls: A Field Study. Visiting on their first North American excursion\, these twelve interactive troll sculptures will explore the Arboretum\, embarking on a curious journey to learn about humankind. \nProduced by Imagine in collaboration with Danish artist Thomas Dambo\, these friendly and fanciful sculptures evoke a sense of wonder and intrigue as they study our small\, intricate and inventive ways of life in Western North Carolina. Standing seven to nine feet tall and lovingly described by the artist as “Baby Trolls”\, the creatures are crafted from materials like fallen branches\, wooden pallets and twigs. \nThrough their observations\, the trolls reveal a fresh perspective on what makes us human\, sparking curiosity and laughter in visitors of all ages. \nParking to Trolls: A Field Study is included in the standard Arboretum parking fee. Advance tickets are not required.
