7. Modillion from NYBG Conservatory
The Enid A. Haupt Conservatory of the New York Botanical Garden is a New York City Landmark that was constructed at the end of the 19th-century. The elegant Victorian conservatory was designed by Lord & Burnham and houses eleven interconnected galleries over the space of one acre.
On display in Cultivating Culture there is a piece of the conservatory structure, a modillion that dates to around 1899. Since 1937, the conservatory has undergone several restoration projects to keep it in top shape. Currently, the dome is undergoing routine maintenance.
