SUMMARY:EXCURSION to Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 31st 10:30 am \nRSVP needed\, contact Ed Slough at wildhybrid@aol.com \nI have scheduled a 1 1/2 hour docent-led tour of the six Japanese gardens for our group. Admission for seniors is $16 \nThe address is: 4000 Morikami Park Road in Delray Beach\, FL 33346. There will be carpools for those needing a ride. \nThe Cornel Cafe menu is below. Please notify me if you wish to attend = wildhybrid@aol.com \n \nMorikami’s gardens\, named Roji-en: Garden of the Drops of Dew\, were designed to be a living exhibit as an extension of the museum. Its six distinct gardens are inspired by\, but are not replicas of\, significant gardens of Japan. Designer Hoichi Kurisu has created a unique garden conceived and constructed in the spirit of the masters. \n \nThe 16 acres that surround Morikami’s two museum buildings include expansive Japanese gardens with strolling paths\, resting areas\, our world-class bonsai collection and lakes teeming with koi and other wildlife. The wider 200-acre park features nature trails\, pine forests and picnic areas. \n \nIn 2001\, Morikami completed a major garden expansion and renovation. The new gardens reflect major periods of Japanese garden design\, from the eighth to the 20th century\, and serve as an outdoor extension of the museum. According to the garden designer\, Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens\, with its unique gardens and collections\, is one of Palm Beach County’s most treasured cultural attractions. Located in a tranquil natural setting\, Morikami invites visitors to explore its many facets and discover Florida’s heritage and its connection with Japan. \n \nThe original museum building\, the Yamato-kan\, is modeled after a Japanese villa. It features a ring of exhibition rooms surrounding an open-air courtyard with a dry garden of gravel\, pebbles\, and small boulders. The museum’s architecture is inspired by traditional Japanese design. The building features three exhibition galleries\, a 226-seat theater\, an authentic tea house with a viewing gallery\, classrooms\, a museum store\, the Cornell Cafe\, and lakeside terraces for a panoramic view while dining. \n\n\n\nThe Morikami Collections house more than 7\,000 Japanese art objects and artifacts\, including a 500-piece collection of tea ceremony items\, more than 200 textile pieces\, and fine art acquisitions.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n.\n.\n\nCORNELL CAFE AT THE MORIKAMI \nThe perfect way to top-off your Morikami experience is to stop at our Cornell Cafe. The open-air cafe on the terraces [there is also an air conditioned area] overlooks the tranquil gardens and serves a Pan-Asian inspired menu.\n\n.\n\n\nhttps://morikami.org/cornell-cafe/\n.\n\n
