Review №1

Opposite of Independence Hall, “The Dream Garden” is a mural composed of hundreds of thousands of glass tesserae in a multitude of nature-based colors. It is truly a remarkable sight to see.That being said, there isn’t a full experience here. If one were to visit looking for a historical lesson or additional details, it’s pretty bare. The restaurant/ bar (P.J. Clarke’s) that shared the lobby with the mural provided a steady stream of people, but otherwise the experience was quiet and reflective.Visiting, “The Dream Garden,” is a small dose of art, worthy if a fifteen minute visit.

An unbelievable mosaic that covers an entire wall within the Curtis Center. It sounded like not many people know about this but its truly a site to see! The mosaic is best reached by entering the East side (6th Street) of the building, directly across the street from Independence Square.

This mural was hyperrealistic and a great scene to play with camera settings. Color is lively and tricky to capture. Stunning stop to make to cool off and reflect.

A little misleading. When I went here the only thing you can look at is this mural or eat at an overpriced restaurant. The mural is amazing and I studied it for a good hour to make the walk worth it

This mural is definitely worth a quick peek as you walk by Independence Hall. The vibrant colour and the sound of the water trickling makes it a calming experience.

Took the woman of my dreams here when we met for the first time. Special place...hard to find, even harder to get in to see as the venue is frequently booked for events. Worth seeking out. Truly beautiful.

What a spectacular sight. Few people venture into the lobby of this building to see this glorious work of art.

Amazing work of mosaic art, and it is open to the public for viewing! The door was unlocked at 9am on a Saturday, and the receptionist was friendly.
