Description

While Roberto Burle Marx is well known for his landscape architecture, his contributions to environmental conservation and the visual arts have received less notoriety. This garden-wide exhibit, the first-ever large-scale horticultural tribute to his work and life, features public programming that brings Rio de Janeiro, Burle Marx's Cidade Maravilhosa, to life.
