Richmond’s little art museum sure does pack a punch! After being the only East Coast venue (in a seven-city international tour) to display the works of Picasso in their Picasso: Masterpieces from the Musee National Picasso, Paris from February 19th through May 15th, 2011 (in honor of the museum’s 75th anniversary), the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts is now displaying the works of Dale Chihuly from October 10th, 2011 through February 10th, 2012 in the exhibit appropriately titled Chihuly at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
I’ve now been to this exhibit twice and both times I was
equally overtaken by how much beautiful detail is included in each work. My only complaint about the exhibit is it’s
too short! I want to see more pretty
things! Lol
If you’d like to check out the Chihuly exhibit, it’s $20 for
adults, $16 for seniors (65+) or free for children (6 and under), active-duty
military personnel and their immediate families, and VMFA members ($60 for a regular individual membership, $85 for
dual/family, $65 for dual senior, $10 for student, and $45 for seniors,
teachers, and out-of-town residents). To
buy tickets, view start times, or get a quick history of what Chihuly has done,
visit the Chihuly exhibit page. This truly is something to see and I hope you
guys check it out if you haven’t already! And keep an eye on upcoming exhibits
on the VMFA website.
