Had my chance in Phoenix a while back. Didn't get back from Sedona in time.
Were there photography restrictions at this exhibit?
I will take #2.

Not that I know of, JT. People were taking photos with (mostly) cell phones. I do not know if they would have objected if I used a flash. Flash any way would have ruined the effect, IMHO.

The last set and even closer was what I had in mind. Maybe even macro.
Well done.

Love all the content, Sury.
Glass art is very attractive and these sculptural pieces are genuinely organic and warm.

Thanks for sharing,

Indeed beautiful ...

Forms are reminiscent of underwater habitats or desert plants ... the lighting used brings all items' vibrant colours out spectacularly -infact a little too vibrant, in my opinion :) The reds in this set are almost create a 'flaming' environment.

Thanks for sharing.

Yildiz,
The photos do not do justice to the reality in the museum and the glass garden. Thank you.
The next two are my attempt at capturing the beautiful boats. I had to take my shots quickly since people
were floating in and out. These were panos (5 and 7 images respectively, with each pano slide an HDR of 9 images)

The last one is the money shot for me. I would have lingered over all of these works looking for shots just like that.
If I were the artist, I would keep the exhibit open an extra hour or two just for photographers and charge $250 each.
I bet there would be takers.
