Among bright arrangements of orchids in settings inspired by the bold, multicolored designs of Mexican modernist architect Luis Barragán, come visit a paradise of tropical beauty—without ever leaving the Bronx.

Whether you’re a seasoned orchid fanatic or an NYBG newcomer, this monumental exhibition promises a feast for the senses. Join us on select Saturday evenings for Orchid Nights, picture-perfect nights out for the 21+ crowd featuring music and dancing, cash bars, and food for purchase among the energetic color and style of the exhibition.
