Nova's Ark Project in Water Mill

September 23, 2012 10:37 AM

Nova's Ark Project in Water Mill is a 95-acre privately owned sculpture garden in the Hamptons open for occasional public tours of the 30-plus massive installations. Nova's Ark was the brainchild of the late Nova Mihai Popa, a Transylvania native who moved to Water Mill in 1986 with companion Tundra Wolf. Popa lived and worked there until his death in 2009 and all the artwork on the site is Popa's.
