    What happens to these wonderful piecxes when the exhibit ends in May? surely they can't fit in anywhere else! Are they melted down and started over? So beautiful.

    Chihuly during Luminaries was incredible. Breathtaking. This is a must see exhibit at night time. I recommend you see this while you still can.
