JOURNALING:  This is one of several glass sculptures, created by master artist Dale Chihuly, at the Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus Ohio.  The title is “Persian Ceiling” and it consists of panels of brightly colored glass shapes.  It was on view at the Conservatory in 2003-2004 as part of “The Chihuly Collection”.  The exhibition was so successful that local donors bought the entire collection as a gift to the Conservatory, making them the only botanical garden with a permanent collection of Dale Chihuly’s artworks. 


Dale Chihuly’s work is in more than 200 museums and he has received many awards, including twelve honorary doctorates and two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts.
