Something extraordinary is coming to Asheville this winter!
The world famous, larger than life Thomas Dambo Trolls are coming to stay at the NC Arboretum just 5 minutes from Asheville River Cabins! The trolls will enchant you with their whimsical larger than life stature, made of recycled materials. Photo Ops will abound!
Visiting on their first North American excursion, these twelve interactive troll sculptures will explore the Arboretum, 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.
Through their observations, the trolls reveal a fresh perspective on what makes us human, sparking curiosity and laughter in visitors of all ages.
