Museo de Arte de Ponce: Gardens

The Museo de Arte de Ponce has 3 gardens, each one with its own meaning or representation. The first one is called Jardín Granada, or Granada Garden. It represents a garden of a castle in Spain. The name it's because of the pomegranate that are born in the garden, hence granada is pomegranate in Spanish.

The second garden is called Jardín Lincoln, in English Lincoln Garden. In the garden there was the bust of Lincoln and a message from him. There is currently no photo of the monument, but when I receive them, I will post them. Also, in the garden, there was a metal sculpture from which there was no name of.
