Enid A. Haupt Garden

Enid A. Haupt Garden is located above the underground portions of Sackler Gallery, the National Museum of African Art and the S. Dillon Ripley Center and features many elaborate and geometrically designed gardens. The garden is used by many tourists and local Washington DC residents to sit and relax during a long day of sight seeing or for workers to sit and enjoy a relaxing lunch and recharge for the afternoon.

The garden features a brick walkway that winds through the 4.2 acre garden which is full of areas that have been intricately landscaped. In the center of the space is a rectangular parterre, also known as a Victorian-style garden that has been elaborately landscaped.

Another garden located within Enid A. Haupt Garden in the Moongate Garden which is located near the Sackler Building. This garden has borrowed architectural elements from a 15th Century temple in Beijing. Another garden in the site was inspired by the Court of the Lions at Alhambra in Spain.
