Growing and Knowing in the Gardens of China

The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens presents the exhibition, 奪天工 Growing and Knowing in the Gardens of China, as part of Getty's PST ART: Art & Science Collide initiative.

Growing and Knowing will explore the potential of gardens as spaces that not only delight the senses and nourish the body but also inspire the mind - both intellectually and spiritually. On view in the Chinese Garden's Studio for Lodging the Mind, 奪天工 Growing and Knowing in the Gardens of China, will exhibit 24 objects, including hanging scrolls, hand scrolls, albums, and books from The Huntington's collections and those throughout the United States. The exhibition will also feature a participatory artwork by contemporary Chinese artist Zheng Bo that was commissioned by The Huntington.
