Origami USA and American Museum of Natural History have built up a tradition of celebrating New York's holiday season with origami.
The theme of the year 2002 is "Flower," which is appropriate for the city living out the aftermath of the tragic event.
Origami Holiday Tree has been appreciated by the visitors of American Museum of Natural History for over 30 years.
Besides flowers, models of animals, insects and dinosaurs, as well as a large mobile of twinkling stars, represent the mission of the museum.
