I can't wait to go see the Fireworks of Glass display at the
Children's Museum of Indianapolis.
Chihuly artists blew and installed 3,200 pieces of glass on the 43-foot-tall tower. It is comprised of more than 3,200 individually blown, brilliantly-colored, two to four-foot-long pieces of smooth and twisted glass called Horns and Goosenecks.
I have to admit that I'm fascinated by it and would love to shoot some photos of the piece.
The Fireworks of Glass ceiling floats just under the tower. It is filled with 1,600 pieces of glass from Chihuly’s spectacular series, including Sea Tubes, Hornballs, Persians, and Putti in a variety of shapes and colors.
On the Museum’s Lower Level, children and families can look up and see the brilliantly colored glass forms in the ceiling.
Here children and adults can sit on a large, round, revolving platform, gaze at the ceiling overhead and discuss what they see.
Families can also create their own sculptures with colorful plastic-like shapes call polyvitro and blow glass virtually or explore the hot shop and the glassblowing process on two computer screens.
