Chihuly 'I want my work to appear like it came
from nature so that if someone found it , they
might think it belonged there.'

Gardens of
Glass: Chihuly at Kew is the first exhibition of
its kind to be held in Europe. A spectacular sequence of
organically shaped and vibrantly coloured glass sculptures
will be set throughout Kew's 300-acre garden landscape and
inside the great glasshouses. The exhibition has been
specifically designed to respond to Kew's living
collections, landscape, architecture and vistas and the
visitor's experience of the work will alter dramatically
from day to night and from season to season.
