Chihuly: Through the Looking Glass at the MFA

This adventure is from a while back, but over the 4th of July weekend we took advantage of the MFA's Free Fun Friday and went to see the Chihuly: Through the Looking Glass exhibit. In the past I've seen some other Chihuly pieces at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, the Albert and Victoria Museum in London, and the Mohegan Sun Casino in CT but this exhibit was great because you could get so close to the glass. There was also a special movie showing Chihuly through the years in action with his team creating new installations around the world. Here are some of the shots I got.

From a distance I thought this one was a real plant. It was custom made for the MFA's atrium and they are trying to raise the money to buy the piece for the permanent collection


Chandeliers!


Close Up - looks like orange grubs


Zoomed out - still kinda looks like orange grubs


This is a shot of underneath ones of the chandeliers.


I took this photo and then like 5 other people turned around to take the same one.


Kind of a funny narration about the next photo

Glass mystical forest


Glass in a boat - the mirror reflecting was cool too.


One last light
