The Museum’s Mille Fiori - Italian for "a thousand flowers,' - may be viewed from numerous angles. With its arrangements of irregular shapes and sumptuous colours, this installation looks like an enchanted garden.

Chihuly assembled gardens of glass to include many of his series of works. First exhibited in 2003 at the Tacoma Art Museum, the techniques used to create the 'Fiori' rely less on tools and more on the use of fire, gravity and centrifugal force. The artist has said that memories of his mother's garden served as inspiration for these "gardens of glass."
