This just posted editorial of Drake Burnette by Josh Olins for WSJ Magazine took us to mining magnate Bernardo Paz’s Inhotim, a vast, 74 acre garden of modern art communing with nature in the hills of southeast Brazil. About 1,000 employees including “curators, botanists and concrete pourers, swarm around Inhotim”, writes the NYTimes in this March 2012 feature article.

A whiff of megalomania seems to emanate from Inhotim’s eucalyptus forests, where Mr. Paz has perched more than 500 works by foreign and Brazilian artists. His botanical garden contains more than 1,400 species of palm trees.
