Forbidden Gardens
Forbidden Gardens ( ) was an outdoor museum of Chinese culture and history located on Texas Highway 99 and Franz Road in northern Katy, Greater Houston, Texas, USA. The museum was funded and opened by businessman Ira Poon in 1996.〔(Texas Traveler: Forbidden Gardens )〕 Forbidden Gardens closed its doors in 2011.
==Features and naming==
Forbidden Gardens took its name from two of its major features: A 1:20 scale model of the Forbidden City with hundreds of palace buildings and figurines under a pavilion, and the small grounds for walking and viewing additional exhibits.
Additional exhibits included a detailed panorama of a scholarly retreat called Lodge of the Calming of the Heart, an outdoor array of 6,000 one-third scale soldiers and chariots from the Terracotta Army tomb of the first Emperor of Qin, an indoor panorama of a city called the Venice of China (Suzhou), and rooms exhibiting details of historical architecture and weapons.
Forbidden Gardens was unusual in that it was privately funded, displayed extensive models made and shipped from China, and gave a unique view and experience of some of the most interesting times in Chinese history. It originally cost $40 million to construct and only 40 of the Poon bought were used. The Terracotta Army display was unique in that the statues were exposed to direct sunlight, unlike the sheltered originals, enabling excellent photography conditions.
