An outstanding collection of fine art and sculpture. Many beautiful works of art from the 16 th - 19 th century
Europe. An extensive Baroque collection. Outdoor sculpture gardens feature a 15 ft statue of "David" and numerous other
Greek and Roman figures. A perfectly sculptured chariot and fountain with Greek Gods
lifting turtles are located in the center of the garden.

is delightful, beauty all around- statues and tropic waterfalls and palm trees. Walk behind

tucked among them in the cool shade. Be sure to visit the rose garden,
