An Exercise In Shoehorning Tree-related Words Into A Review Of An Exhibition Featuring Trees

Ghost Forest at The Pit Rivers Museum
9 July 2010 - 31 July 2011

An exhibition of huge tree trunks from deepest Africa. Good to see the Pit Rivers Museum branching outdoors with their events. At the exhibition's root is climate change and deforestation. Although we've finally twigged what we're doing to the world we're still sapping the planets resources. Any budding news junkie can simply leaf through a paper to see evidence of how barking mad we still are. It's nuts!

Though this is the message the exhibition still blossoms with the beauty of these stumps. It's fruitful to spend time amongst these dead trees though the plinths they sit on could do with some sprucing up. All in all a thought-provoking exhibition that should prove very poplar and have people pining for more. Yew'll love it.
