All willow sculptures were installed in May 2014 as part of the bicentenary celebrations here at the Natural History Museum. The Viking sheep will spend the winter inside, but all the other sculptures will remain where they are so the public can enjoy how they look different every season.
Moe’s willow bench is the largest installation. It is placed on the spot where Head Gardener Moe planted a scarlet willow (Salix alba var. vitellina) in 1827. Photo: Axel Dalberg Poulsen, NHM
