IF YOU’RE LOOKING for a reason to visit the Bronx, this may be it. Glass artist Dale Chihuly has installed 20 new sculptures among The New York Botanical Garden‘s 250 acres in his first major installation in more than a decade.
You have time: The sculptures, plus a gallery of drawings and earlier pieces by the 75-year-old artist, will be in place until October 29, 2017.
