For the first time ever, Filoli is opening its doors in the winter, unlocking the secret beauty of a garden at rest. During this time, Filoli will be unlocking doors with many behind-the-scenes opportunities for our guests. In celebration, the Filoli Unlocked exhibition will feature all black and white photography of gates, keys and doors - hidden and historic architecture will be considered. Images of Filoli are encouraged, but not required. Historic architecture is preferred.
Selected images will be on display in the Visitor and Education Center with interpretation to connect the exhibition to the seasonal theme.
