GARDEN ENTRANCE
The Dante Garden, installed on the campus of the University of St. Michael's College in Toronto, Ontario creates a unique experience where one can be with nature and enjoy Dante’s epic poem. Contrary to how most people experience the Divine Comedy - usually in a library or study - the Dante Garden provides a natural outdoor environment, where one can actually walk through Hell, Purgatory and Heaven. The viewer will have their own journey following Dante’s path.
This Dante Sculpture Garden not only creates a unique and beautiful surrounding, but also creates a space for education, culture and spirituality, inspiring new generations of Dante readers and scholars.
By using the audio commentary for each Canto provided by this site, visitors of the park can experience a full interactive journey through the Divine Comedy.
