the elegance and beauty of one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s
finest achievements, while learning about one of his most controversial
buildings ever designed. Frank Lloyd Wright first proposed his
plans for a civic center in downtown Madison in 1938, but a divided
city and over 50 years of political battles needed to be resolved
before Wright’s “long-awaited dream of a wedding
between the city and beautiful Lake Monona” finally became
a reality. |

Activities:
Conservatory Exhibit: Light Gaps
The trees were just trimmed and the bushes were pruned during annual
maintenance in the Bolz Conservatory. Now it’s time to see
the light in the forest! Learn about light and how plants develop
and change in the forest as light fluctuates. With more than 650
plants in the Bolz Conservatory the tropical plants compete for every
sunbeam that radiates through the glass pyramid. When a gap in the
forest canopy is created naturally or by a clipping from Olbrich’s
Conservatiory staff, new growth develops at an exceptional rate.
Admission to the Conservatory is $1.
