The historic Wave Hill gardens, mansion and horticulture center celebrates 50 years this week in the Bronx. The home which housed Teddy Roosevelt for two summers and Mark Twain for two years was built as a country home in 1843. In 1960, the property was gifted to NYC. For the first time in its history, the park will be open late into the evenings for a new outdoor and indoor gallery installation: Chris Doyle’s The Lightening: a Project for Wave Hill’s Aquatic Garden. The installation of light, animation, and sound changes from day to night and is embedded in three large mirrored sculptural objects that surround the water lily filled aquatic pool. 

Wave Hill is a 28-acre public garden and cultural center overlooking the Hudson River and Palisades in the Bronx. The exhibition is up through May 24 and is open in the evenings Friday through Sunday until 9:30pm.
