Viridarium - Sculpture parkVia dei Musei, 81 b, 25121, Brescia (BS)
The garden of ancient Brixia. From the Domus dell'Ortaglia, the gaze opens onto a green that spans the centuries. In Brescia, where archaeology becomes experience.
THE REBUILT ROMAN GARDEN
Excavations have brought to light the gardens of Roman houses: quadrangular spaces now recreated to convey the atmosphere of two thousand years ago. Next to the vegetable garden with vine, fig, apple and pomegranate, the Viridarium takes shape, an ornamental garden with boxwood, laurel, myrtle and ancient roses. Between stone paths and Roman finds, greenery dialogues with history.
BETWEEN ANCIENT AND CONTEMPORARY
The Viridarium also houses works of contemporary art, from Michelangelo Pistoletto to Emilio Isgrò. Here nature, archaeology and art coexist. Here the past speaks to the present.
