On a recent trip to the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG), I had the opportunity to see glass art installations created by the renowned artist Dale Chihuly. Created specifically for the venue, the more than 20 installations in the garden are the first to come to New York in more than 10 years.
Sharing photos from my recent visit, I hope you are inspired by Chihuly’s work – his lifelong fascination with glasshouses growing into a series of exhibitions within botanical settings.
I really like the subtlety of the way these glass leaves play against the real ones!
If you live near New York or are planning a trip soon, schedule a visit to the Bronx to see Chihuly’s art. The NYBG is always a beautiful spot to visit and the addition of the Chihuly exhibit makes it extra special!
To see the works spectacularly illuminated, schedule an evening visit to NYBG on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday in September or October and visit CHIHULY Nights. Can you imagine this piece illuminated?
Thanks for stopping by!
Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
