Glasshouses: The Architecture of Light and Air

Art and architecture, culture and horticulture come together in this intriguing exhibition in the Garden’s LuEsther T. Mertz Library. A selection of drawings, prints, paintings, photographs and illustrated books illuminate more than three centuries of the evolution of glasshouses, a specialized form of architecture that transcends the normal limitations of nature. The works on display, many from the collections of the Mertz Library itself, tell several different stories, including the history of glasshouses, the glasshouses in America, and glasshouses at The New York Botanical Garden.
