The Hardin ng mga Diwata takes its name from and hosts the Abueva sculptural piece, Siyam na Diwata ng Sining.  This reinforced concrete work represents the nine muses of art:  architecture, dance, film, literature, music, painting, photography, sculpture, and theater.  The nude muses, spread around atop a ring-like pedestal are rendered in various stances.  Despite strong formal traces of neo-classical influences, their relaxed poses and generous gestures temper the usual severity that the tradition is known for.
