Yinka Shonibare Garden of Love (review)
A tail transparent wall separates the gardens of the Musee du Quai Branly from Quai Branly, the street. The gardens, which are separated by walls and a moat on the Rue de I'Universite side as well, make up an enclosed space of fantasy. The winding sidewalks lead visitors under the museum's intentionally boatlike structure, and to the museum, the cafe, or to clearings hidden from view. Embedded in the sidewalks are "tresors," objects such as cowrie shells and iridescent insects encased in resin. The theme of the garden is travel and discovery.
