Garden entry
Back in 2009, we thought this was still the botanical section of the Gulf Coast Museum of Art, and I remember thinking I saw nothing that looked like art except this entryway. It wasn't until 2015 as I moved this album over to Flickr that I learned the museum had closed earlier in 2009 and the botanical portion was now simply Florida Botanical Gardens.
