Media Invitation - Montréal Space for Life Invites Everyone to See Nature Through a Child's Eyes At the Launch of Gardens of Light

MONTRÉAL, Aug. 23, 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - Montréal Space for Life invites media representatives to the launch of the 5^th edition of Gardens of Light, the "highlight" of fall in Montréal.

Dusk is the perfect time to explore the universe of the Son of Heaven – the Chinese Emperor. You can admire the lanterns representing the three large halls in the Outer Court of Beijing's Forbidden City, where 24 Ming and Qing emperors reigned for close to five centuries. Continue your stroll through the Japanese Garden, where luminous bamboo-stalk installations line the path with their glowing light. Take the time to admire the audiovisual projection on the façade of the Japanese Pavilion inspired by sumi-e, the art of ink painting. It's an elegant, sober prelude to the nighttime visit.
