Glass Flowers Exhibit, Thu 7 Jan 2010

i saw this exhibit over 40yrs ago as a school kid, and the memory has remained with me all this time. someone has posted a 5min. video tour of the exhibit on YouTube - a google search will find it for you. take your kids to this exhibit - some of them will never forget it !

Glass Flower Exhibit, Sun 10 Jul 2005

I saw this over 30 years ago and was so delighted with it. The realism was just fantastic and it clearly showed the development of the flower from bud to full bloom. I am not sure exactly when these were produced and how they fit into the development of Art Nouveau glass, but each item was just a gem in and of itself. If you loved the Lalique Iris (made of sapphires at the Walters), you will love these as well. Just a breath of spring time any time.

Absolutely astonishing! The marriage of artistry and engineering is breathtaking. A must see. I would recommend this for older children.
