Organised by Hustle & Bustle , Singapore has officially launched a major garden exhibition by Dale Chihuly , one of the world’s most-renowned glass artists from Seattle. A first of its kind in Asia, the Dale Chihuly: Glass in Bloom exhibition takes place amidst the verdant tropical setting of Singapore’s iconic Gardens by the Bay.
The exhibition offers a unique experience that takes visitors across the expanse of Gardens by the Bay’s various landscapes, including the vast greenery of its Outdoor Gardens and the cooled environment of its Conservatories.

Dragonfly Lake
At Dragonfly Lake, two vibrant public installations that float upon the water brings life to the scenic site.
Float Boat, Chihuly’s 2014 creation that’s part of his unique
Boats collection, is a colourful mixture of glass forms that are scattered and spilling out of the actual boat. Chihuly first chanced upon this concept in Nuutajärvi, Finland. After tossing his newly-created glass pieces into the river as a test, the spherical pieces began floating downstream and were collected by local teenagers in wooden boats. The experience inspired the glassblower to recreate the look and has remained a firm concept in Chihuly’s exhibits ever since.
