Globally-renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly will have an exhibition at Biltmore Estate this spring. Opening on May 17, Chihuly at Biltmore will be featured as the first exhibition in Biltmore’s historic gardens (some artwork will be in the Biltmore House as well).

As released from Biltmore, here is the lineup for Chihuly’s large-scale installations + pieces in collaboration with Biltmore’s landscape team:

The Front Lawn will feature a glistening representation of The Sun
Inside Biltmore House, the Winter Garden will glow with a multitude of gold and white forms conjuring visions of sea life and reflecting Chihuly’s love of Venice
The Italian Garden will offer three installations, including a Boat filled with multicolored glass spheres inspired by Japanese fishing floats
In the Shrub Garden, Red Reeds—ranging from 6 to 10 feet high—form a striking installation
The Walled Garden presents two vibrant Towers—one of which was created for the Biltmore setting
The glass Conservatory will be the setting for three dramatic Chandeliers—one of Chihuly’s most iconic series—comprised of glass forms in varying, elegant hues
Antler Hill Village & Winery will feature a new installation created for Biltmore that will welcome guests upon arrival

Guests can view the exhibition with no extra charge to the price included in Biltmore admission. However, Chihuly Nights at Biltmore (a night of dramatically illuminated showcase of colors + shapes) is by reservation only + on select nights. Order tickets here.
