\u27a1\ufe0f Explore the immersive Magic Gardens<\/p>\n

When mosaic artist Isaiah Zagar<\/a> (1939\u20132026) moved to Philadelphia\u2019s South Street in the 1960s, he saw an opportunity to not only revitalize a neglected area but transform it into a haven for creatives. He began working on what would become Magic Gardens,<\/a> an immersive environment with sculpted metal, wood, and concrete forms that entice visitors through maze-like passageways crafted from glass bottles, bicycle wheels, dinnerware, architectural elements, and so much more.<\/p>\n
