Glass in Flight<\/em>, the amazing new glass and steel sculpture exhibit of sparkling butterflies, dragonflies, bamboo, bees and beetles by Alex Heveri, has alighted at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum! This open-air \u201cmuseum\u201d of living animals is more properly a zoo, natural history museum and botanical garden, but regardless of what you call it, ASDM is the world\u2019s best-loved and most famous showcase of everything the Sonoran Desert has to offer, from tarantulas to mountain goats and from javelinas to hawks. The botanical gardens showcase unique Sonoran Desert vegetation.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Glass in Flight<\/em>\u00a0sculptures, which feature 24 giant insects of glittering\u00a0Dalle de Verre<\/em>\u00a0glass hand-set in bright, powder-coated steel frames, are scattered around the grounds like giant, winged jewels. Imagined and built by Tucson artist Alex Heveri, the exhibit enchants, but also calls attention to the decline of insect populations, especially pollinators, worldwide.<\/p>\n

Glass in Flight<\/em> is open now and will run through May 2023. Call the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum at\u00a0520-883-1380<\/a>\u00a0or check the website for times and directions.
