While a ghost plays the piano (what other possible explanation could there be?) we find The Dream Garden. Designed by Maxfield Parrish and constructed by Tiffany Studios the mosaic took over a year to complete. It is made up of over 100,000 individual hand cut glass tiles cast in over 260 different colors. When it was unveiled in 1916 it was the largest glass mural in the US, and remained so up until 2007. Nestled in the southeast corner of the Curtis Building on Washington Square, the Dream Garden is one of the hidden jewels of Philadelphia. Enjoy!

An absolute Glassterpiece!
I'll bet you were "dying" to get into that piano to see the workings! Nice place. Peaceful.
OK, left with the burning question of what amalgamation of technical hardware is working the hammers inside. The mechanic in me is going nuts now.
I was reading the info but you never showed the whole thing.
Beautiful Fran. Thanks for sharing this!
🎄🎅Merry Christmas 🎅🎄
Thanks Fran!
Nice Fran!
this place looks beautiful, I will go next time I am in town. seeing a video like this mixed in with the vintage electronics is the thing I love most about your channel 💞
You're so cute
Awesome. Player pianos are so cool. 👍
This is just way too bizzare. I watched this YT video yesterday. This morning I decided to watch unbreakable. A Bruce Willis film from 2000. He's sitting in a restaurant and it's the same place as your showing here. It's about 65 mins into the film. Omg!! I can't tell you how freaky and weird this is.
Crikey this chilled me out, how lovely xx
Thanks Fran! It is beautiful and puts me in a good mood.
Beautiful! I didn't know about it before. M. Parrish's use of light is always so calming to me. Thanks Fran!
