A bonsai is a miniature tree. The chinese and japanese perfected the art of growing these trees many generations ago. Most people don't realize that most varieties of bonsai are deciduous trees which are best left outside, even during the winter. There are some tropical bonsai (also called indoor bonsai) which can be kept indoors. Mine are all indoor bonsai.
Hawaiian Umbrella Bonsai (Shefflera Aboricola 'Luseane')

I love the air roots on this one. This is one of the easiest bonsai to care for. great for beginners and can do well in medium light.
Above: Brazilian Rain Tree (Pithecellobium tortum) - Like a fascinating natural weather station, this bonsai responds to ambient conditions by closing its leaves when it rains, gets dark or becomes too hot.
