Treehouse Gallery






I recently stumbled upon this in Regents Park London, and really enjoyed looking and interacting with the treehouses and the different "galleries"; there was a sound garden made out of recycled stuff, and another music room with a piano and a drum, who anyone could play. There were a few kids there, playing chaotic music and dancing enthusiastically, it was very funny. My favorite was the treehouse about 5 meters above the ground, with a great collection of art, history and curios books, it was a very peaceful place to read, and the quiet and unusual treetop location made all the books seem more magical. I also came across a woodcarver, who was making spoons, and was very proud of his craft, showing and explaining his work to anyone interested. Apparently there are always different workshops and readings etc going on, and ts all built from recycled or donated materials. Highly recommend a visit if you are in London. More on the public installation here.
