The work of artist Dale Chihuly has returned to the Desert Botanical Garden with a stunning exhibition of his extraordinary art.
Chihuly is credited with revolutionizing the Studio Glass movement and elevating the perception of the glass medium from the realm of craft to fine art. He is renowned for his ambitious architectural installations around the world, in historic cities, museums and gardens.
The exhibition features 21 installation sites located along the Garden's trails. It includes new and early works representing the breadth and scope of the artist's vision over the last four decades.
