Robert Anderson's Amazing Kaleidoscopes Exhibit on Now!

If you think summer is festive with its bursting, colorful blooms, imagine what it's like seen through a kaleidoscope! Visitors to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum will have such a viewing opportunity, thanks to a new exhibit "Robert Anderson's Gardens of Kaleidoscopes."

The exhibit features 15 interactive garden kaleidoscope installations on the Arboretum's Dahlberg and Morgan terraces, as well as inside the Oswald Visitor Center.

The kaleidoscopes of varying heights allow everyone from children to adults to be able to enjoy them. Intricate prism designs create interactive, living sculptures. They are encased in bold, ingeniously designed sculptural metal frames and attached to container gardens planted by Arboretum staff. The kaleidoscope feature is activated by slowly turning the large bowl-shaped containers and thus, creating dramatic ever-changing flourishes of colors and shapes. http://www.arboretum.umn.edu/G...
