Chihuly in the Garden

Wednesday, September 28, 2016

Dale Chihuly is a master glass blower. The artist displays his pieces across the nation and the world and has a permanent piece at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. This October Chihuly outdid himself with a traveling installation that called the garden home for a few weeks. The pieces were awesome in the daytime but night is when the show became spectacular!
