We bought our timed tickets online, ($45 for 2 seniors) and drove directly to the site. Fortunately we were permitted to enter early showing our receipt at the 1995 "Da Monsta" entry building with no right angles. After inspecting the huge entry gate with its counterweighted white ship’s mast, we walked the curving lane down to the 1949 home with its 1954 pool. We knew about this architectural masterpiece but did not know of the other functional and contrasting structures; the 1949 988 sq. ft. Brick Guest House, the 1965 3778 sq. ft. underground Painting Gallery, the 1970 3650 sq. ft. Sculpture Gallery with a skylight roof and his 1980 384 sq. ft. Library. Plantings of white pines, rows of maple trees and a sculptured pond accent this previous 49 acre former dairy farm with its stacked stone walls intact. Excellent docents compliment the educational visit. We then drove 2 miles into New Canaan to visit the Johnson Design Store with its wall of photos and videos of the overall project.See more..
