Museo del Bonsai
Marbella
This museum is deservedly considered as one of the best collections of trees in Europe and also the best wild olive tree collection in the world!
The Bonsai Museum is a magnificent collection of beautiful miniature trees and forests, many of them well known for their beauty and centenary age. It is deservedly considered as one of the best collections in Europe and also the best wild olive tree collection in the world!
Cultivated by the loving hand of their owner Miguel Angel García, several of these olive trees form part of an expressive central display with water, bonsai trees and sculptured rocks brought from the Torcal in Antequera.
The visit to the Museum is impressive, offering the opportunity of enjoying these small although great works of art.
History highlights interest in specimens as important as the chinese "Almez" which belonged to the same chinese familiy for five generations, or the "Acebuche Olive" which is 300 years old.
Some of these bonsai are examples of nature close to Marbella, from whose mountains some natural miniatures have been extracted, some in danger of extinction like the Pinsapo Pine.
