Philadelphia's Magic Gardens (PMG) is an immersive mixed media art environment that is completely covered with mosaics. The creator, Isaiah Zagar, used handmade tiles, bottles, bicycle wheels, mirror, and international folk art to chronicle his life and influences. The space is made up of two indoor galleries and a bi-level outdoor sculpture garden.
As a nonprofit museum, PMG celebrates art in its many forms through community outreach, public programs, hands-on activities, exhibitions, and tours. They welcome everyone to explore the space and embrace the possibility of self-expression. Admission tickets are timed entry and are available for purchase in advance on their website.
Visitors have been impressed by the breathtaking and unique nature of the gardens, with one describing it as a "big surprise" and another saying "Pictures don't do it justice. You've gotta see it in person." The customer service has also been praised, with one visitor noting that the staff allowed them to enter a day earlier than their scheduled tickets. Overall, PMG is a must-visit destination for art lovers in Philadelphia.
Truly beautiful art gallery. They offer memberships or individual entry, and while I fully believe everyone should go at least once I believe you should just get a ticket first before deciding if you want to become a member.
