The Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus Ohio has a wonderful collection of Dale Chihuly’s glass artwork on display. This collection is the largest owned by a conservatory or botanical garden. I try to visit the Conservatory during the annual Orchid display that usually runs from mid-January to mid-April. It’s a botanical delight to wander through the thousands of beautiful orchid blossoms and admire the spectacular Chihuly glass pieces artfully displayed throughout the exhibit.
It's been almost a decade since the Conservatory last featured a full-scale Chihuly exhibition. The Conservatory has had on exhibit select pieces since 2009. The Conservatory is excited to exhibit its full collection, the largest Chihuly collection in a botanical garden, once again.
According to the Conservatory, the Chihuly: Celebrating Nature exhibit takes visitors on a journey through the bold and colorful work of Dale Chihuly. These beautiful, breathtaking pieces are situated within the Conservatory’s botanical gardens and courtyards.
