Real Jardin Botanico: Sculpture Exhibition

Art & Photography — By Daniel Sz. on March 12, 2010 3:59 pm

The Real Jardin Botanico has been in the very center of the city for over two hundred years and has since then blossomed into a place dedicated not only to nature but also to culture. Those who like both of these will be pleased to know of a new sculpture exhibition in the gardens: Artist Jose G. Onieva will be including his own steel models of plants and flowers—some of which reach six meters in height. The Plaza de Murillo entrance is the most convenient for those wanting to see these pieces, which can also be found along the Puerta de Murillo (in front of the Prado Museum) and the Puerta del Rey. The exhibition will go on until April 16th, garden hours are from 10:00am to 19:00 p.m. and until 20:00 p.m. in April. Fees for the Garden are 2.50 euros, children and seniors over sixty-five have free entrance.
