| Description: |
The gardens of the 1891 Tampa Bay Hotel were touted as the most exotic in the country. “Strolling in a Perfect Paradise” will showcase the splendor of the gardens within the context of landscape design in the 19th century. Oversized projected images will give guests the sense of truly experiencing the once-magnificent grounds. The exhibit will also feature historic images from brochures, newspapers, negative slides, and photographs, along with original decorative pieces and, in the current garden, historic garden markers. This exhibit coincides with the Tampa Museum of Art’s exhibit, “American Impressionism in the Garden”, opening in September, and we will partner with TMA and several educational programs. |
