The Ghost Forest art installation on the lawn outside the Museum of Natural History featured the stumps of 10 trees from African rainforests. Oxford artist Angela Palmer created the work to raise awareness about the destruction of the world’s natural resources.
The trees, which have been in Trafalgar Square, London and outside the Danish Parliament in Copenhagen, will find a new and permanent home at the Carmarthenshire attraction, and have been secured jointly by the National Botanic Garden in partnership with the Wales-based rainforest charity, Size of Wales.
