About Chihuly Garden And Glass

Visiting this place takes you to a beautiful world of exquisite floral arrangements and artistic blown glass artworks. Artist Dale Chihuly made the place worth visiting with his interesting glass artifacts and other items. The beautiful glass sculpture of blown glass installations and the creative use of colours and lights will give you an illusion of a lovely garden. 

This museum has the most beautiful glass sculptures. It has both an indoor and outdoor section, a cafe, resting area, and a pretty cool gift shop. The glasshouse is the centrepiece of the exhibition, comprising of a 40-foot tall glass and steel structure and over 4,500 square feet of space.  The garden is decorated with four huge sculptures and features paths, trees and flowers. Some of Chihuly’s most impressive works are displayed in the garden, which includes the Crystal and Icicle Towers and The Sun.  The Interior Galleries – eight in total – as well as three drawing walls are a backdrop to some of the artist’s most significant works. One should really consider going to this place because it is special. At different times of year there is different light, and the glass looks different during different months.
