Chihuly at Cheekwood features thousands of stunning, hand-blown glass sculptures on display throughout the botanical garden at Cheekwood, in various ponds and within the Museum of Art and Frist Learning Center. Some of the highlights of the exhibition include:
Saffron Tower - a 30-foot yellow neon sculpture will be installed in the Herb Garden in Cheekwood’s east gardens.
Sun - a 15-foot radiant yellow orb will be installed on the Museum of Art’s front lawn.
Mille Fiori - a gigantic garden of glass composed of bold forms in vibrant colors will be installed in Cheekwood’s reflection pool.
Chandeliers - two spectacular installations will be housed in the museum

Although Cheekwood will present the largest display, we are partnering with two Nashville arts institutions to bring Chihuly's work to the Middle Tennessee community. On extended view from May 14, 2010 to January 2, 2011, Chihuly at the Frist will present a variety of colorful and energetic installations designed specifically for the institution's upper-level galleries. On May 20 - 22, 2010, the Nashville Symphony will celebrate a Chihuly weekend of performances, featuring Bartók’s Bluebeard’s Castle. Chihuly has created a spectacular set design with his artwork for this production. Cheekwood will have a full schedule of programs, including tours, demonstrations, and musical performances to coincide with the run of Chihuly at Cheekwood. Information about tickets and parking will be available in mid to late March.

I saw the Atlanta Botanical Garden exhibit a few years back and the Cheekwood exhibit is even better. Thanks to Cheekwood for bringing such a wonderful experience to the gardens. Collapse
