Road Trip to Magic Gardens

Covering an indoor and outdoor space equivalent to half a city block, Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens is an over-3,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor found-item mosaic constructed from cement, bicycle spokes, bottles, ceramic shards, other artistic knick-knacks and pure imagination.Isaiah Zagar began transforming the site in 1986 using his studio space and adjacent vacant lots, eventually digging tunnels, grottos, and building a bi-level outdoor labyrinth.
