Get ready to experience America’s castle in a way you’ve never seen it before. The Biltmore is getting ready to open its first-ever garden art exhibit, and they have partnered with an artist whose work is unlike anything you’ve previously seen.

Dale Chihuly is a world-renowned glass artist with works displayed in more than 200 galleries around the globe. And once you see his work, you will never be the same. If that sounds slightly overstated, then take a look below at other garden installation exhibits Chihuly has staged over the years. And then imagine gorgeous creations like these with the Biltmore as a backdrop.

Chihuly is wildly popular for his large installation exhibits, which are colorful and expressive. All of the work is hand-blown glass, expertly crafted, one piece at a time.

Chihuly is Seattle-based American artist who is known for personally overseeing each and every installation. At the Biltmore Chihuly exhibition, you can bet you'll see some whimsical pieces that work with structures that are already in place at the Biltmore, similar to what Chihuly did with this fun piece at the MoBo in St. Louis.
