Spanish Paradise: Gardens of the Alhambra August 19, 2011

The lush gardens and poetic vistas of the Alhambra—the legendary Islamic palace and fortress in Granada, Spain—will be re-imagined in a large-scale, multipart exhibition at The New York Botanical Garden this summer. On view from May 21 through August 21, 2011, Spanish Paradise: Gardens of the Alhambra will provide 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.
