Wednesday, April 29 and Wednesday, May 6, 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm – The Garden in Art and Art in the Garden

by

Gardens have been important to us since ancient times, so it isn’t surprising that artists have represented gardens in many symbolic ways. Exploring representations in both western and eastern art, this two-session Museum of Fine Arts Looking Together on April 29 and May 6 from 1 – 2:30 pm considers the symbiosis of art and gardens over time. Led by adjunct instructor Deborah Stein, tickets are $64 for MFA members and $80 for nonmembers, and must be purchased in advance at www.mfa.org, or by phone at 1-800-440-6975 (additional $6 processing fee), or at the ticket desk at the Museum. We are posting this announcement early because spaces are limited and tend to sell out quickly.
