–Opening weekend! Debut of Small Talk: All the dirt on growing mini-but-mighty trees, Pacific Bonsai Museum’s 2024-25 special exhibition, bringing textbooks to life with 41 living bonsai trees. Through anime-inspired illustrations, emojis, and text-like exchanges, the exhibition bridges the gap between textbook STEM education and real-world fun. From “Thirst Alerts” to “Sunlight Status Updates,” Small Talk answers common, botanically-oriented questions about bonsai in the format of a chat. Visitors can also try their hand at bonsai wiring and sift through the bonsai’s special soil at interactive stations.
–Opening Weekend! Skating the Edge: Exhibitions from Pacific Bonsai Museum’s First Ten Years. A retrospective journey celebrating ten years of innovative exhibitions that have captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. Featuring works from Decked Out: From Scroll to Skateboard (2016), Natives (2017), World War Bonsai: Remembrance & resilience (2020), and Avant-garden (2023).
