After stepping aside for a brief hiatus so the Oklahoma City Museum of Art could host the world famous Passages Exhibit, the museum's Chihuly glass is back and more captivating than ever. Not sure what Chihuly glass is? All you have to do is walk by the outside of the museum and you'll see it in all of its splendor in the form of the Eleanor Blake Kirkpatrick Memorial Tower. ILLUMINATIONS: Rediscovering the Art of Dale Chihuly offers something new and unforgettable for those who have visited the prior exhibit or those discovering this impressive collection for the first time.
The exhibit, which features the most comprehensive collection of Dale Chihuly glass in the world, was redesigned in collaboration with Chihuly Studios and incorporates a three-dimensional approach to viewing this fantastic collection. As part of the reopened exhibit, the museum will also feature Chihuly: Northwest, a breathtaking exhibit of glass sculptures by Chihuly inspired by Native American baskets. Chihuly: Northwest will run through April 8, 2012.
Whether you have visited before or have never heard of Chihuly there has never been a better time to experience this one-of-a-kind collection. The Oklahoma City Museum of Art is open Tuesday through Saturday.
