Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens is a nonprofit organization that preserves and interprets the artwork of Isaiah Zagar & furthers the legacy of Isaiah & his wife Julia. Covering half a city block of indoor and outdoor space, Philadelphia's Magic Gardens (PMG) glistens with creativity. Artist Isaiah Zagar began tiling South Street in the 1960s and never stopped, eventually building a mosaic garden out

of ceramic shards, broken mirrors, bicycle spokes, and vivid splashes of dyed cement. The tiled passages of PMG weave over and under ground, and perhaps more than anything through the mind of a dedicated and obsessed artist.

Wondering what to do with all those seashells you're collecting down the shore this summer? May we suggest creating a secret 70-foot underground grotto?

Check out this article to learn more about this mosaicked space, whose creator is still unknown!

Aptly called "Shell Grotto," the creators behind it remain a mystery.
