Gardens of the Alhambra at NYBG
posted on 30 Aug 2011 03:54 by Sara Spink
When I read about the New York Botanical Garden's re-creation of the Alhambra Gardens I was raring to go – and, not having been there before, was not aware that the exhibit's installation in the Haupt Conservatory necessarily imposed particular limitations on its extent (notably a restricted space and floorplan).

It's pretty awesome. And huge! If you think glass is a narrow focus, and dare I suggest you might even consider it dull, think again (and do it now). Despite allotting most of the afternoon for our visit (sadly I had a bus to catch), we hardly scratched the surface of what the Corning Museum of Glass has to offer.
