The Art Garden at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem

Designed by the Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi, the Art Garden lies on the western slope of the Museums campus. It is divided into wide, crescent-shaped sections arching upward and supported by high walls made of rough fieldstone. As in a Japanese Zen garden, the ground is covered in gravel, and paths lined with local plants and trees connect the different sections. A multitude of materials were incorporated into the gardens design: stones of different kinds and sizes, exposed concrete, and water. Walls enclose smaller spaces and rectilinear terraces of the garden, echoing the shapes of the Museums buildings.
