Visit the Twelve Oversized Troll Sculptures Art Exhibit @ The North Carolina Arboretum

Daily, Nov 15th-Feb 17th

Something extraordinary is here in Asheville this winter! The North Carolina Arboretum and Explore Asheville are elated to host TROLLS: A Field Study. Visiting on their first North American excursion, twelve oversized troll sculptures will explore the Arboretum’s formal gardens and along its trails, embarking on a curious journey to learn about humankind.

Produced 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.
