CHIHULY AT THE ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS, KEW DVD

Discover the history and the people behind Dale Chihuly's 2005 exhibition at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. From an early fascination with transparency in architecture to the birth of the Mille Fiori series, a forty-year journey culminates with a striking fusion of art, nature, and architecture as Chihuly's glass is installed on the vast grounds and in the glasshouses of the world's most respected garden.

Chihuly at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew tells the story of the artist's spectacular installation through Kew's three conservatories as well as outdoor gardens at this World Heritage Site. Innovative and intuitively beautiful, Chihuly's glass combines with the gardens and glasshouses of Kew to forge an unforgettable experience.
