It's coming! The MFA will have a Chihuly exhibition from April 10 to August
7. Also, they will have an exhibition of Embroideries of Colonial Boston
from April 2 to August 28. Come down for a day and you can do them both!

And if you do, I'm just down the street from the museum.

Haven't checked RCTN in a while, what with four hospitalizations in 2010 and
newly arthritic fingers, but I do look in occasionally.

Very interesting, love the candles in the logs.

The candles in the logs were about 10 feet tall. Some pieces took up
an entire room...such as this one.!!
Some of the pieces were overhead...lying on a glass ceiling...the
cherub was one of those.

Ditto - but for coming up instead of down ;^)

Nice to see you back, Felice. Hope you're doing well.

When we went they have a movie that is about an hour or so long for
you to go watch after
you go thru the exhibit. It was very crowded so we decided to watch
the film first. We were
glad we did because it shows him working and making all his pieces.
Each collection has a theme
and he would tell you about each theme and what inspired him to make
it.

We found it more interesting as we went thru, to know all this as we
looked at each collection.

Each room was just more amazing than the last! There are HUGE pieces
that hang from the ceiling. In the
last room, the exhibit is the length of a huge room and pieces in it
are about 15 feet tall!!

Go early and plan for the whole day......we went through all the rooms
several times...and each time, we would
see things we had missed before.
