A Glass Phoenix

Firebird Sculpture, Charlotte, North Carolina, USA

One of the great things about traveling is finding and seeing art.  The Firebird (aka Le Grand Oiseau de Feu sur l’Arche) is a giant sculpture found at the entrance to the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art.  It is covered with mirrored tiles which make up a mosaic covering the body of the sculpture.  Above is a sunburst adorning the shoulders on the back.  Below is the front of the sculpture and the entrance to the museum.
