Located right next to the Space Needle at the Seattle Center, the Chihuly Glass Museum is one of the most popular attractions in the city.
The exhibition provides a look at the inspiration and influences that inform the career of artist Dale Chihuly. The Exhibition includes eight Galleries. The centerpiece Glasshouse and a lush Garden.
The eight galleries and three Drawing Walls offer a comprehensive collection of Dale Chihuly’s significant series of work. The artworks demonstrate how he pushed the boundaries of glass as an art medium in concept, execution and presentation.
Chihuly has shown his artwork in botanical gardens all over the world. But this was his first time working with a landscape designer to create a space unlike that of any garden or exhibition elsewhere.
The unique plant collection is specially chosen to complement Chihuly’s work.
The striking colors and forms of the trees, plants, and flowers create a rich backdrop for the art. With an ever-changing, lush landscape, those who visit will enjoy a distinct experience with each new season.
The installation in the Glasshouse is an expansive 100-foot long sculpture in a color palette of reds, oranges, yellows and amber. Made of many individual elements, it is one of Chihuly’s largest suspended sculptures. The perception of the artwork varies greatly with natural light and as the day fades into night.
