    Additional information

    Leaves are falling outside but the flowers are blooming in our galleries! Curatorial fellow Janet O’Brien will guide you on a stroll through the lush gardens evoked in Islamic and South Asian art featured in a temporary installation. Along the way, you’ll view a magnificent 18th-century Persian carpet of a four-part garden (chaharbagh) design, contemporary glass birds by Turkish artist Felekşan Onar, and historical paintings from the South Asian collection that celebrate the abundance of nature.
