For the half-million visitors who have flocked there since it opened in December, it is truly a playground for the human spirit. Approached by a silently gliding electric train, the buildings and landscape combine to form a labyrinth of spaces. Passages, terraces, fountains, pools, and small unexpected gardens entice the visitor to explore among them. The rough travertine surfaces, filled with fossilized impressions of leaves, feathers, fish, and shells, call out to be touched.
Lookouts offer stunning views of the city, mountains, ocean, and sunsets.
