Philadelphia Magic Gardens

Philadelphia Magic Gardens

28 January 2019

I passed this magical garden years ago when I attended a training program. It was at night so it was closed, but I was able to get a glimpse of the artwork from the outside. I made a promise that I have to get back.

We recently spent a night at Philadelphia to attend the Light Festival, and I remembered about this place while we were having lunch. So we spent our afternoon here.

The artist who built this place is Isaiah Zagar and in my opinion, he is bold and brilliant. This place perfectly translates the term "beautiful mess". He created this space using different materials including statues, glass bottles, tiles, mirrors, bicycle wheels, plates, and I even found a Lego figurine.
