Last Friday we took a day trip and met up with friends Larry and Robin in San Francisco. The main reason? To see the Chihuly Exhibit at the DeYoung Museum. Dale Chihuly is the most famous glass artist working today and for good reason. Check out his wikipedia page to learn more about him or his official site to see more of his work. I”m serious, his work is amazing.
But wait! There’s more! You can see our pictures of the Chihuly Exhibit on Petra’s site or go directly to them here. The pieces look awesome and when you remember that it is all glass it is even more stunning. One work was over 30 feet long, others filled a room or a stage. The presentation was superb but it was the glass that was the true star. Take a look, I’ll bet you will agree. And, oh yeah, we toured most of the rest of the museum too.
That was well worth the trip, but while there we grabbed lunch at the DeYoung Cafe and then dinner at a vegetarian chinese place that is going out of business at the end of the month. No need to link to them I guess ;-(
Have you seen the exhibit? Ot at least Petra’s photos? What do you think?
The pix came out great, especially the boat ones–I think my favorite part of the Chihuly exhibit!
