Chihuly: Jerusalem project American Glass artist Dale Chihuly has been featured all over the world from the Louvre in Paris to the San Jose Museum of art right here in the Bay Area, but his most notable exhibition was his show called “In The Light of Jerusalem” at the Tower of David Museum in Jerusalem.

18 November 2011 Historic Site Visit (de Young Museum) My visit to the de Young Museum was quite an interesting one. Not only did I see numerous paintings, furniture, and decorative art on the second floor, but I also learned some fascinating historical information about each piece and the different periods each artwork originated from, starting with the colonial period till 1900.
