The Gate at the Cleveland Botanical Garden

Our first stop is in Cleveland's University Circle neighborhood. Stop off at one of the many museums in the area or just stroll along Wade Oval to the Botanical Garden. The Garden's Kohl Gate, located left of the main entrance, was created by Albert Paley in May 2004. The metallic-brown structure sits sixty-feet long and fifteen- feet high and is made of Cor-ten steel. The sculptural gate defines the spirit of the garden, and Cleveland, with a seemingly industrialized interpretation of the native plant life from Costa Rica, Madagascar and Ohio that lies just beyond it.
