“Birmingham Persian Wall” by Dale Chihuly

PriceFree
April 14 @ 1:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Birmingham Persian Wall is a site-specific installation of twenty-one vessels—some over three feet in diameter—that cluster on four adjacent walls in the museum's lobby. Each unit, in a rich shade of yellow, orange or blue, bears a rippling pattern that is clear or in a contrasting color. The vessels, each attached to a cylindrical metal post, float about five inches off the wall.

Curious about works of art that aren’t always included on a BMA tour? Take a DeTour with us each Sunday, where we’ll spend 30 minutes focusing on a work of art that is off the beaten path. 

This Sunday, drop by and join BMA Teaching Fellow Jessica Chanel Davis as she facilitates a discussion on Dale Chihuly’s Birmingham Persian Wall located in the Museum’s main lobby.

Meet Jessica in the Main Lobby on the First Floor at 1:00 pm.
