The Secret Garden of Funny Birds is an aviary where both resident and migrating birds take on a magical and precious form, uniquely crafted by the world-renowned Murano glass. This installation comprising 46 glass sculptures, these poetic birds and mystical creatures that inhabit the aviary evoke the radiant essence of Venice through a mesmerizing dance of reflections and light. Much like the luminosity that flows through Venice’s bridges, spanning between the sky, earth, and water amidst the springtime lagoon, this installation transforms into an exquisite garden reminiscent of Palm Beach.
