On June 14, 2010, the Tree Museum situated on 75,000 square meters of breathtaking land near
Upper Lake Zurich in Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland, will officially open its gates.The Tree Museum
will exhibit individual trees from the collection of Enzo Enea, the Swiss landscape architect and
one of the world’s most prominent tree collectors.
In a series of open spaces we show our appreciation for trees by using them to create spaces in
a unique way that integrates aesthetics, sustainability, history and lifetime.
Our passion for landscape architecture and our tireless creativity to explore new structures and
forms of garden rooms led us daily through the design and construction of this great project.

At any given time there will be approximately 120 trees on view, subject to an exhibition schedule
which will present ‘theme viewings’ focused on different types of trees, ways of shaping and more.
The Tree Museum will soon also open up to an active involvement with the arts.
Landscape “artist” Enzo Enea completed the Tree Museum in Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland, right
next to the brand new headquarters for Enea Garden Design designed by Miami based
Oppenheim Architecture + Design .
The museum includes 50 different species on the site of a 14th century monastery, some of them
130 years old. These have been collected by Enzo himself for the past 17 years, sometimes
rescuing trees threatened by construction or urban expansion. The collection includes over 2,000
species on an adjacent 2.5 acre park.

來自瑞士景觀建筑師,也是世界上最杰出的樹收藏家 Enzo Enea的作品。這些樹種在中國和東亞很常見。但是在瑞士當地卻不是這樣的情況。
這個博物館大約收集了50種,120顆左右的樹木,如樟子松,玉蘭等等。一些來自一個14世紀的修道院,樹齡超過了130歲。還有一些是在過去17年間,被建筑和城市擴張所威脅到的樹木,他們被景觀建筑師拯救。收集的范圍也是相當大。
景觀建筑師將當地的砂巖通過框架固定,形成了形狀各異的墻。
在這砂巖背景墻下看樹,這些大多數來自東方的樹似乎也具有了東方的禪意。
樹的博物館已于2010年6月14日在瑞士蘇黎世湖邊的Rapperswil-Jona開放。在一系列開放空間中,為樹木創造了集合美學,可持續發展,歷史,生命等的獨特展示方式。
設計師對景觀的熱情和不懈的創作激情產生出了這樣一個別具一格的花園,并日以繼夜的進行推敲,直到這個偉大的工程完工。
樹博物館旁邊的Enea總部,花園由Miami based Oppenheim Architecture + Design 設計。
