While walking around Philly, we saw a lot of artwork on the buildings and in plaza. There is a huge art community is Philly, and their works are on display for the public to enjoy. Huge murals and mosaics lined the sidewalks and buildings as we wandered around.

Isaiah Zagar: South Street Renaissance, a history of Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens
A visual representation of something that happened here
“There are a few places created by an artists, craftsman, and architects through out the world that are preserved and protected because of their unique qualities as examples of an endeavor that we can not define but intuitively understand as representing a moment in time that transcends that time and is somehow exemplary of it. The Magic Garden’s of Philadelphia grew out of a unique set of circumstances …”

Magic Garden Disclaimer, originally uploaded by lil’bear.
There are no words to describe the sheer wonder of the “Magic Garden” on South Street. We wandered through the walkways, passages, into the basement, through a maze of mosaic sculpture and art awestruck at the sheer scope, scale, and beauty of this public art installation.

Dream Garden is an enormous glass mosaic designed by artist Maxfield Parrish (1870-1966), and executed by Louis Comfort Tiffany and Tiffany Studios, for the lobby of the Curtis Publishing Building in Philadelphia — home of the successful magazines The Ladies’ Home Journal and The Saturday Evening Post.
Measuring 15 by 49 feet, Dream Garden was produced by the Tiffany Studios in 1916, using over 100,000 pieces of favrile glass, each hand-fired to achieve perfection in each of the 260 colors. The partnership of Tiffany and Parrish had been called “one of the major artistic collaborations in early 20th Century America.”
