Glass Flowers
Glass Flowers are a remarkable collection of botanical models made from glass, created by Dale Chihuly and his team. These intricate sculptures depict various plant species in stunning detail, showcasing the beauty and complexity of nature. The collection is housed at the Harvard Museum of Natural History and serves as both an artistic and educational resource.
The models were crafted using a technique called glassblowing, which allows artists to shape molten glass into lifelike forms. Each piece is meticulously designed to represent the colors, shapes, and textures of real flowers, making them a unique blend of art and science.
