The National Park Service, through the Save America's Treasures federal grant program (CFDA 15.929), awarded Vizcaya Museum & Gardens Trust Inc. a $1,500,000 project grant to conserve the historic swimming pool grotto at the Vizcaya estate in Miami, Florida. The project will stabilize the supporting structures, reattach a panel currently in storage, and fully conserve the mural artwork by American artist Robert W. Chanler that adorns the grotto ceiling. This work will protect and preserve this unique component of the National Historic Landmark estate, which represents significant cultural and artistic ideals of the American Gilded Age. The project will commence on October 1, 2024 and is slated for completion by October 1, 2027.
