Schedule and location

As of January 31, 2021, the trolls are no longer at the Arboretum and Troll Hunt has concluded.

Save the date for a new exhibition opening this spring!  

The Morton Arboretum’s next major exhibition, Human+Nature (pronounced: Human Nature), will highlight the deep connections between people and trees. Foster your love of trees and plants, while enjoying the outdoors with friends and family, as you explore large-scale sculptures created by South African artist Daniel Popper.

Built to create a sense of awe and wonder, five massive sculptures will be featured with the backdrop of the Arboretum’s magnificent and mature tree collections. Each grand in size and appearance (15-26 feet tall), the sculptures are crafted especially for Arboretum guests. Human+Nature will be included with Arboretum admission. 

Watch the Human+Nature webpage for special updates leading up to the exhibition opening this spring.
