Cresce il parco di sculture del New Orleans Museum of Art

19 Maggio 2019

Il recente ampliamento e vari interventi di rilievo architettonico e paesaggistico hanno modificato l'immagine del Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden, compreso nel New Orleans Museum of Art, negli Stati Uniti. Dal 15 maggio scorso 26 nuove opere, di grandi dimensioni, sono state collocate nel parco, che diventa ancora più un luogo di ritrovo en plein air per gli appassionati di arte. Non solo: sono state piantumate specie vegetali indigene ed è stato progettato e realizzato uno speciale collegamento, che simula l'esperienza del "camminare sull'acqua".
