The Sculpture Garden is the perfect place to read and admire the African sculptures and contemporary mural on the mansion wall. An enclave in the middle of Kurá Hulanda, this garden is resplendent for receptions and events.

The Indian Marble Garden was transported from a Maharajah's home in India to enliven the area between the Astrolab Observatory and the Indian Bridal suite -- water glides over the smooth marble fountain while tigers, elephants, eagles and other marble creatures look on. Two exhibits -- one of astrolabes and the other sextants, flank the fountain. This garden adjacent to the restaurant is a refined setting for a reception or seated dinner.
