Dale Chihuly at the Dallas Museum of Art

Legend has it that when a Dallas socialite wanted to have her wedding at the DMA, her mother thought the glass wall in the restaurant was too plain. The bride’s father commissioned Dale Chihuly to design art glass platters that were installed on the glass wall, as a gift to the museum. The glass wall frames a wonderful view of downtown Dallas and it’s skyline. It’s interesting that the art glass draws your attention away from that view!

A lovely shot of these colourful works of art. I personally would prefer a lovely view. I am not really a friend of too much colour 😉

[Mave]

Very colourful

[Myrna O'Hara]

[Islandgirl]

Wow very pretty and colourful!

[Lou Ann]

@sailingmusic Oh! Do you visit them? We could meet for a photo walk, there are so many cool places to go in Dallas!

[Lou Ann]

@ludwigsdiana I will post the photo I took of the skyline view.

[Henri Russell]

The glass platters definitely get your attention.

[Cindy McFarland]

[Beryl Lloyd]

How wonderfully colourful and bright ! - the platters certainly brightened and beautified the window

[Pat Knowles]

Well I like his design, a big improvement that lasts forever! He must have had plenty of money!

[Carole Sandford]

That is so pretty , wonderful colours!

[Bep]

Nice composition. Love your story.

[Catherine Otley]

This is very nice and a lovely composition. It is Chihuly at his most restrained if his past installations at Kew Gardens and Atlanta Botanic Garden are anything to go by.

[Gayle]

So beautiful! Fantastic POV! I love Chihuly's work! :-)

[Babs]

Beautiful colours. Glass artwork looks marvelous with the sunlight flowing through it.

[Milanie]

Chihuly's work is fascinating - he had some on display last fall at Crystal Bridges in NW Arkansas. Interesting story behind them.

@milaniet Thank you so much for your wonderful comments and faves! I sat down to eat lunch and this is what I saw. Smile. This is on the TP and PP because of you. Thank you!

[PhylM-S]

Wow! Beautiful perspective to capture these. I have the museum on my wish list!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Fun story- I don't think you can put Chihuly's work anywhere and expect people to pay attention to the skyline!

[CC Folk]

I love this, LouAnn! I thought it was the one in Tacoma, Washington at first! That is the one I saw. My favorite Chihuly are his flowers and his ceiling panels...heaven! :)
