Name of event: Of the Oak

About the event: Don’t miss this unique opportunity to see a one-of-a-kind outdoor art installation that focuses on one of Kew’s most famous trees, the magnificent Lucombe oak. The artwork centres on the inner workings of the oak, using real-world data captured in collaboration with Kew scientists to create a ‘digital double’ of the tree and celebrate its role as a vital hub of biodiversity.

When: 3 May – 28 September 2025

Location: Kew Gardens

Admission: Entry included with your Boundless membership.

Tell me more: This is a multisensory and interactive experience – you’ll be able to impact the motions of the oak on screen by moving in front of it. And, with an online guided breathing meditation, you can synchronise your breathing with the rhythms of this amazing tree.
