Explore the seven-acre MSV gardens and discover 30 larger-than-life glass sculptures of flowers, insects, and more! This beautiful outdoor exhibition features the work of Craig Mitchell Smith, one of America’s most innovative kiln-glass artists. Gardens of Glass highlights include a chandelier of 600 autumn-colored glass leaves suspended from a maple tree, a 16-foot-tall stainless-steel dandelion topped with a iridescent glass puffball, and a sculpture inspired by apple blossoms, created just for the MSV exhibition.
Gardens of Glass opens on June 8 and will be on view in the MSV gardens through October 13, 2024.
