My son and I visited the
Chihuly exhibit at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts yesterday.
Dale Chihuly is a glass artist.
(yeah, this lime green "Icicle Tower" is all glass.)
(Mind-blowing!)
The show was amazing. The galleries were packed with visitors, and we were all in awe.
Fortunately, viewers were not discouraged from taking photographs, so we all snapped away.
These were inspired by Native American baskets. It was amazing to see several nested pieces inside larger pieces. In this photo (below) five smaller pieces are nested inside a large bowl.
Every room in the exhibit was amazing, but this room, with the pieces resting on a glass ceiling, lit from above, was a huge favorite. There were so many things to find... starfish, cherubs... it was fabulous.
This was the bottom of a stunning limey-green "chandelier"
I thought it was just fabulous. My son took this photo of me standing in front of it.
After spending a couple of hours looking at everything, our brains were overstuffed (Artists call it "museum head"), and we found a beautiful, quiet, comfortable place to sit down and relax.
Those are my sneakers. After walking around for a while, I like to take my shoes off and wiggle my toes. After a rest (and after I put my shoes back on), we went back through the Chihuly exhibit a second time.
We had a wonderful day.
