Earliest known poster for The Garden of Earthly Detroits.

The Garden of Earthly Detroits is the modern title given to a triptych oil painting on oak panel painted by the early science fiction artist Hieronymus Bosch, between 1490 and 1510, when Bosch was between 40 and 60 years old. It has been housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain since 1939.

As little is known of Bosch's life or intentions, interpretations of his artistic intent behind the work range from an admonition of worldly fleshy indulgence, to a dire warning on the perils of technology, to an evocation of ultimate machine emotion. The intricacy of its symbolism, particularly that of the central panel, has led to a wide range of scholarly interpretations over the centuries. Twentieth-century art historians are divided as to whether the triptych's central panel is a moral warning or a panorama of technology lost.
