Museo del Bonsái de Villagonzalo Pedernales

Over het museum

The cultural association “Bonsái Burgos” and the Villagonzalo Pedernales Town Council opened the museum on 13 September 2008. It is the first permanent bonsai museum in Castilla y León, and it is part of the Casa Consistorial building in the centre of the village.

The site covers about 400 m² and includes a minimalist pond, about 60 bonsai and many suiseki (“stones for contemplation”, which suggest landscapes) and kusamono. The exhibition space is outdoors, protected by a shade-netting framework, and displays around 50 trees on pedestals and natural stone slabs emerging from beds of river pebbles. A climate-controlled greenhouse protects the most delicate specimens, and an adjoining space is used for repotting and other conservation work.

The Casa Consistorial also has a multipurpose room for courses, meetings and demonstrations, so the museum also works as a centre for promoting bonsai technique. Each type of species has its own independent automatic watering, lighting and camera surveillance.
