I just noticed the Historical Garden Tour link here – what a great slideshow to help visualize the history and development of Dumbarton Oaks’ house and gardens over the last century. Great addition to the blog!
Unfortunately, we currently don’t send out emails about upcoming events. Hopefully, this is coming in a few months. In the meantime, please check our website for information : http://www.doaks.org/
I first became aware of the Dunbarton Oaks Collection in 1974 when I was studying Byzantine Art. It is really a stunningly beautiful property and I can not wait to visit this summer to see the gardens. I have a friend who used to swim in the pool. I love the historical slide show.

drs martin ballot, art historian, byzantine art historian, berlin , GERMANY
the whole d o Website is very fruitful for Research but since garden friends will read my comment i wish to say from Berlin
that the gardens , present and historically, are absolutely beuatiful and charming — on the photogrpahs. — my house neighbour walked around there in october 2013,
unfortunately for far – away visitors the 2 h 45 opening times for garden and Museum, 14 h – 16 h 45
are far too short especially for scholars who also would like to see the gardens
