Blast from the Past

In the good old summertime. A young visitor plays in a pool of water which, together with the water jet and the tiny water canals, form the Fountain Garden, a unique setting outside the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of African Art. The fountain garden is part of the Enid A. Haupt Garden in the South Yard of the Smithsonian Institution Building (The Castle). (Photo by Laurie Minor-Penland, 1987)
