Venturi Pergola and Garden

Enjoy our garden spaces

The Venturi Pergola and Garden is a public garden located at the La Jolla Historical Society on the lower terrace of the Wisteria Cottage property.  The centerpiece of the garden is one of the pergolas designed for the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) by the firm of Venturi Scott Brown and Associates (VSBA), founded by Robert Venturi and his wife and partner Denise Scott Brown.  The award-winning architects were responsible for the 1996 renovations and additions to MCASD in the postmodern style.
