A stroll through the blooming gardens of Cantigny Park in Wheaton becomes an encounter with alebrijes, surreal animal hybrids brought to life by six visiting artists from Mexico.
An explosion of color will greet Cantigny visitors this summer when the Wheaton park hosts an outdoor exhibition of mythical animals inspired by Mexican folklore. "Alebrijes: Creatures of a Dream World" runs June 1 to Oct. 30.
