You’d think there’d only be so many times you could say, “Oh, wow!” in a single day.

You’d be wrong.

A trip through the Dale Chihuly exhibit in the New York Botanical Garden is an “Oh, wow!” journey of constant amazement.

The 20 mind-blowing works – some overwhelmingly massive, some delicately small – are dotted throughout the 178-acre garden, all showcasing the glass sculptor’s signature organic shapes in brilliant colors.

Turn a corner and crane your neck for the skyscraping “Scarlet and Yellow Icicle Tower.” Enter the nearby conservatory to come face-to-face with “White Tower With Fiori,” whose milky whites and gentle fucshias match the tropical plants and flowers growing around it.
