The Chihuly in the Garden exhibit has returned in 2014 to the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix Arizona. The exhibit has all new sculptures since it appeared at the gardens in 2009.
I have already visited the exhibit four times since it opened in late 2013 and will go many more times before it closes on May 18, 2014. I just can not get enough of it.
Here are some photos I have taken of the 2014 version of the Dale Chihuly exhibit.

We were at the garden in December. The sun was shining in a clear blue sky and the gardens and glass were fantastic!

I agree. They are fantastic.
Awesome photos. We wanted to visit his garden when we were in Seattle but we were staying with an artist and she said he wasn’t a very nice person and hadn’t done much for the community. They wanted to donate some of the ticket entry to charity but he said no, or something like that. Anyway, we didn’t end up going.
I have been to the one in Seattle and really enjoyed it.
I was at the Chihuly exhibit twice in December (day and evening) and plan to go back soon. It is fantastic. I recommend it for anyone visiting the Phoenix area this winter. I love your pictures. I have a few that are similar.

It is. I have seen it four times so far.
Love the close-up of the “Blue Star.” I was just there myself last week…shot a video of the exhibit if you and /or your readers are interested:
Let me know where it it and I will share it.
We just went to see this! I can see why you keep going back–it’s an awesome exhibit! I loved how large all the sculptures are and they are so pretty at night!
I am glad you got to see it. It is such a unique exhibit in an amazing setting.
Hands down this looks like the best and most creative botanical garden I have ever heard of. Your photos of the artwork are absolutely stunning. I will definitely have to make a stop here if I’m driving through Arizona
Thank you. It is a very unique place. Definitely visit if you are in Arizona.
I visited the Gardens yesterday but did not get the names of all the glass pieces and I haven’t been able to find a directory/pic so I can I.D. all my photos. That would be very nice to have. Thanks. Linda
I think some of the sculptures had little signs near them but I did not write them down.
