The fountain was previously the centerpiece of the Brooklyn Art Museum lobby prior to its restoration … repurposed and made fully functional to work in this garden. While the interior lives “large”, the private outdoor space literally doubles the amount of living and dining space to enjoy throughout the seasons with its own ivy-walled sitting area and large round dining table for six. The entire garden has been planted, irrigated and lit for evening enjoyment. This one-of-a-kind feature in this one-of-a-kind garden is the 16th century stone water fountain for it is not only a piece of art from the museum, but a piece of history from the Adriatic and a sanctuary for migratory birds to visit on occasion, ultimately you can sit back and listen to the relaxing sounds from this wonderful working water fountain!
