Gallery scene: Works of Dale Chihuly at the Bronx Botanical Garden.

October 22, 2017 by Blogfinger

This show is not a typical gallery display.  It is a garden exhibit showing the works of a remarkable artist, Dale Chihuly, whose glass sculptures are internationally known.

The current show at the Bronx Botanical Garden will be around only until October 29, but it is worth a trip into the Bronx, even if parts of that borough look like a third world country.

The BBG is a spectacular place, and the Chihuly show is available in two formats, one in daylight and one at night.

We visited for the daytime exhibit which displayed 20 Chihuly installations interspersed around and within  the gardens, and everything is within walking distance.

The presence of this georgeous colorful art presented in a natural environment is remarkable.
