GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) – A popular glass exhibit at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park has been extended.

Officials say in a release Tuesday that Chihuly: A New Eden has been extended until the end of October. The collection has welcomed more than 200,000 visitors in the first three months and is part of an exhibition of glass artist Dale Chihuly’s sculptures.

The exhibit that celebrates the duality of art in nature was originally scheduled to close Sept. 30.

Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids held its grand opening April 20, 1995. It took almost four years to welcome its 1 millionth visitor, and the park in May celebrated its 6 million visitor mark.
