From an article in Style Magazine, a Richmond alternative publication:
It ain't the Alps, but both museum visitors and residents of the topographically flat Museum District and Fan area have enthusiastically embraced the earthen berm that defines the north end of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts sculpture garden and partially disguises a new 600-car parking deck. The grassy slope and its walkways are populated by dog walkers, young couples, folks on strolls and, of course, art aficionados. On warm days the hill channels breezes that are not felt nearby. It offers panoramic views of the verdant museum grounds and architectural treasures in the vicinity. There are soothing and elegant water features. And yes, there's sculpture.
This is the view looking up the to the top of the berm. We went to a Members Preview this afternoon for an exhibit brought from The British Museum. More about that later.
