Event description

Wander the Conservatory’s lush rainforest to glimpse Chihuly’s glass sculptures sprouting within, and discover the fascinating story of his inspirations and innovations.

Dive deep into the world of Dale Chihuly with this accompanying exhibition that explores the celebrated artist’s life, career, inspirations, epic installations, and his remarkable influence on contemporary glass art. 

Groupings of Chihuly’s glass sculptures erupt from the lush rainforest inside our magnificent Bicentennial Conservatory, where they appear to sprout like ‘hybrid plants’ from the vegetation within. Writhing and twisting, they echo the vivid colours and bizarre forms of wild tropical plants.

The exhibition offers tantalising glimpses behind the doors of the Chihuly hot shop and insights into how those towering sculptures placed throughout the Botanic Garden were conceived, transported and built on site.
