Looking for a reason to get away from Ann Arbor for a day? Head over to Grand Rapids and see the Chihuly Glass scuptures at the Frederick Meijer Botanical Gardens. Our family visited last Saturday on our way “up north” to Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore for a few days of camping. Here are couple of pictures.
From the Frederick Meijer Sculpture Park and Gardens website – Dale Chihuly, the most sought-after artist in the world working primarily in glass, returns for a second exhibition this spring and summer to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Meijer Gardens. His works will be displayed at 15 sites, from the English Perennial Garden at the entryway to the Frey Boardwalk in the wetlands. Included are Chandeliers, glass towers up to 30 feet high, floating spheres, Reeds rising from the earth, the Sun, the Moon, and a rowboat full of glass. The exhibition runs through October 31.
