Longwood Gardens Presents:
Light: Installations by Bruce Munro

Light Installation at Longwood Gardens
Never before seen in the United States, this debut exhibition illuminates the Longwood Gardens with large-scale, site-specific light installations.

Wander through a field of light reminiscent of flowers, discover a meadow of glowing towers changing hues, and delight in a shower of cascading raindrops fashioned from delicate lights as you are immersed in a new and truly unique garden experience. Both indoors and outdoors, by day and by night, Light! will change the way you see gardens.
