Send Me To Korea (10) : Jeju Glass Castle

The Glass Castle contains six themed areas with some 350 works on display, and a walking course around the attraction that follows a predetermined route. A mirror maze, tunnel of jewels and eternal ring are highlights, as is the glass heart – if only to see the endless rows of couples lining up to have their photograph taken alongside. Indoor exhibition halls explore the origins of the material and have exquisite Venetian items from Italy for viewing.

Anyone remember a fairy tale of a seed that grew tall to reach the sky ? Is that the story of Thumbellina?  I think this piece of art was inspired by that fairy tale.
