On Nov. 22, the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix opened "Chihuly: The Nature of Glass." The outdoor installation contains 17 large Chihuly works such as "Sun and Moon" and "Chandeliers," which will be displayed amid the cacti, succulent gardens and wildflower trail.
Chihuly's work is in major museums around the world, but many travelers know him best for the enormous flowering chandelier that hangs above the lobby of the Bellagio resort in Las Vegas.
The exhibition runs through May 31. Timed tickets will be sold through www.dbg.org or at 480-481-8188.
Tickets are $15, $13.50 for seniors, $7.50 for students and $5 for children ages 3-12.
The garden is at 1201 N. Galvin Parkway in Phoenix.
