Follies: Architectural Whimsy in the Garden
- see all dates
Except November 22, 2018, December 25, 2018.
This new exhibit at Winterthur features its first-ever outdoor exhibition called, Follies: Architectural Whimsy in the Garden. A needle's eye in a pond, a Greek temple in the garden, an Ottoman tent sitting on a hill are just a few of the inspirations for this magnificent display.
The exhibition showcases whimsical and classic garden structures located throughout the Winterthur estate. Follies are architectural constructions, often extravagant or picturesque, positioned within the landscape to amuse, frame a view, or pique your curiosity. Guests may have seen follies at other estates or in television shows or movies, such as Downton Abbey or Brideshead Revisited.
The exhibit can be enjoyed on foot or from the garden tram. The walking loop takes approximately 45 minutes at a leisurely pace. The main path through the garden is both wheelchair and stroller accessible.
