The North Carolina Arboretum and Explore Asheville announced the arrival of “Trolls: A Field Study.” Visiting on their first North American excursion, these 12 interactive troll sculptures will explore the Arboretum, embarking on a curious journey to learn about humankind. 

The exhibit will run Nov. 15 through Feb. 17 of next year. Six of the trolls will also be honored guests at the Arboretum’s Winter Lights show from Nov. 15 through Jan. 4, where guests can encounter them among the dazzling display of lights that has become Asheville’s Brightest Holiday Tradition.

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.

To further enhance and expand the experience of visiting the trolls, the Arboretum is planning educational programs and local artist features.
