Something BIGGER is coming to Filoli

This summer, Filoli welcomed six towering Trolls to our Natural Lands. The traveling Trolls will be leaving this fall, but the fun doesn’t have to end!

Make your gift today to help a new Troll call Filoli her forever home.

Why Your Support Counts

Visitors of all ages have fallen in love with these playful, thought-provoking sculptures.

“There is so much scope for imagination and wonder in nature and art... I felt so proud that Filoli made an important investment in such a way that feels so true to the spirit of the place.” – Filoli Guest

We want to keep this excitement going. By bringing a permanent Troll to Filoli, we’ll let lasting art take root in the Redwoods—creating a place of creativity, play, and reflection for generations to come.

This is more than adding art. It’s about inspiring deep connections to nature, celebrating sustainability, and inviting joy for every generation.

Big Discoveries Live Here – So Should a Troll

A permanent Troll will:

  • Invite families into a dedicated space for hands-on outdoor play, exploration, and learning
  • Celebrate the six unique California ecosystems in a way that resonates with all generations
  • Spread out the visitor experience, creating more intimate moments across the House, Garden, and Natural Lands

This is more than bringing in a work of art — it’s about welcoming more people to experience that Filoli feeling.

Stay tuned—there’s more to come!
