NY Botanical Garden's Spanish Paradise Exhibition to Close 8/21

The final day for Spanish Paradise: Gardens of the Alhambra, a special exhibition inspired by the lush gardens and poetic vistas of the Alhambra, in Granada, Spain, is August 21. On view only at The New York Botanical Garden, the exhibition provides a powerful evocation of the 13th-to-14th-century ensemble of landscape and buildings and the ways in which it has been viewed since its creation.

Spanish Paradise explores the Alhambra through three components: a spectacular 15,000-square-foot interpretation of its gardens in the Botanical Garden's landmark Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, curated by world-renowned garden writer, designer, and historian Penelope Hobhouse; Historical Views: Tourists at the Alhambra, a display of rare folios, prints, photographs, watercolor drawings, and objects in the Garden's William D. Rondina and Giovanni Foroni LoFaro Gallery, organized by Susan Fraser, Director of the LuEsther T. Mertz Library, and curated by Patrick Lenaghan, Ph.D., Curator of Prints and Photographs at the Hispanic Society of America; and an outdoor Poetry Walk featuring selected works of Federico García Lorca, native son of Granada, selected in collaboration with Alice Quinn, Executive Director of the Poetry Society of America.

The New York Botanical Garden is located at the Bronx River Parkway (Exit 7W) at Fordham Road, Bronx, NY
