Prepare for a ‘once in a lifetime’ October outing as we celebrate the Australian debut of Dale Chihuly’s Garden Cycle exhibition, exclusively in Adelaide. Step into the world-renowned artist’s visionary realm at the ‘Chihuly’ Exhibition in the Botanic Garden. Here, the exquisite interplay of vibrant glass art and lush greenery forms a stunning visual symphony. Each sculpture by Dale Chihuly stands as a vibrant testament to the seamless integration of art within natural spaces. We also have the unique opportunity to explore more of this special exhibition inside the rainforest conservatory – a tropical environment enriched with Chihuly’s spectacular creations.
After immersing ourselves in artistic wonders, we’ll retreat to the historic Bridgewater Inn. Nestled by the river, this charming spot offers a perfect setting for a relaxing lunch. Indulge in delicious cuisine in a picturesque environment that complements the morning’s aesthetic feast.
