The Orchid Show: Mexican Modernism

The Orchid Show: Mexican Modernism, a Breathtaking Display of Orchids in Settings Inspired by the Bold, Multicolored Designs of Architect Luis Barragán, from February 15 through April 27, 2025

The 22nd edition of NYBG’s annual celebration of all things orchids carries visitors to the vibrant setting of Mexico from February 15 through April 27, 2025. Set off on a journey where the fusion of tradition and contemporary artistry takes center stage amid awe-inspiring displays of orchids and other eye-catching supporting plants. Wander through lush landscapes brought into vivid relief with thousands of flowers that showcase diverse ecosystems and rich culture. Among bright arrangements of orchids in settings inspired by the bold, multicolored designs of Mexican modernist architect Luis Barragán (1902–1988), come visit a paradise of tropical beauty—without ever leaving the Bronx.

The Orchid Show: Mexican Modernism brings Luis Barragán’s iconic architectural style to the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory at NYBG. Barragán was a leading force in defining Mexican modernist architecture, adapting international ideas and trends using the organic textures, bright colors, and native flora of Mexico. Visitors will stroll among thousands of orchids, bringing the textures and forms of Barragán’s style to life with fountain features and colorful walls and lattices.

On select evenings (February 15; March 8, 15, 22, and 29; and April 5, 12, 19, 25, and 26), Orchid Nights, called the “lushest bar in town,” are picture-perfect outings for adults 21 and over, featuring music and dancing, cash bars, and food for purchase among the energetic color and style of the exhibition.
