Olympia Hill
Share Location
While the original vision for this location was to create an underground art gallery complete with hologram projections, the concept plans never managed to become a constructed part of Grounds For Sculpture. However, a huge pile of soil collected from nearby construction sites on and off property eventually grew large enough to allow for the Olympia Hill to be built. This garden feature showcases Seward Johnson’s Confrontational Vulnerability (based on Manet’s painting entitled Olympia) and contains a rain garden where weeping Norway spruces, grasses, ornamental shrubs, and roses enhance the swooping, layered pathways.
