Tiffany Exhibit another reason to visit Biltmore

We can think of at least 100 reasons why you should visit Biltmore in Asheville NC. The one-of-a-kind attraction hosts about 1 million visitors each year who marvel at the history, beauty and accomplishments of the Estate. And from July 1 through  October 23 there is yet another reason to include a day - or a week - at Biltmore on this year's mountain vacation.

 Tiffany at Biltmore
  is an exhibition of 45 stained glass lamps created by Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) and The Tiffany Studios. This remarkable collection of stained glass lamps and objects was organized by The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass in New York, and features Tiffany's most admired designs drawn from the natural world.


In addition to the exhibition, Biltmore's talented landscape and floral designers are incorporating Tiffany-inspired elements throughout the gardens and in Biltmore House:
  • Dramatic 40-foot dragonflies created from flowers and foliage, resembling Tiffany's iconic stained glass fixtures
  • Floral décor in Biltmore House inspired by Tiffany's love of botanicals
  • Unique 24-foot "Living Wall" of flowers, foliage, and vines mimic stained glass, next to the Conservatory
The exhibition is located at The Biltmore Legacy in Antler Village and is  included in daily admission to Biltmore.
