Gallery Listings and Exhibition Reviews: Chihuly- Through the Looking Glass

On the second (and last) of my summer vacations, I was lucky enough to visit the Boston. Thanks to a particularly cloudy day and over-booked duck tour of the city, I ventured to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. A museum visit at this institution comes at a steep price, $20 per adult and $18 per students, but I quickly found out it was well worth the price.

Along with an impressive collection both of modern and ancient work, the museum's temporary exhibition Chihuly: Through the Looking Glass, was fantastic. For those of you from the Dallas area, Chihuly's glass pieces flank the sides of the atrium glass window near the cafe. His glass works are thematical and range from ocean scenes to American Indian constructions. They are colorful and fanciful creations that transport you to a dream-like world. Enjoy!
