The Environmental Interpretation Room of the El Charco del Ingenio Botanical Garden has been transformed into a gallery to share the exhibition «Artistic Views of Nature.» It is the collection of 10 most outstanding artists of the national scene who donated their creations to the Botanical Garden in 1997 in support of the conservation projects in the natural reserve of El Charco del Ingenio. The participating works of art are signed by artists Joy Laville, Pedro Friedeberg, Sergio Hernández, Jan Hendrix, Miguel Castro Leñero, Carla Rippey, Mario Palacios Kaim, Martha Hellion, Boris Viskin, and Roberto Turnbull.

This exhibition is presented to the public 25 years later, as an offering for the conservation of the environmental heritage—a collection whose aesthetic value grows with the passing of time. It is a must-see on your next visit to El Charco del Ingenio.
