Hi fellow Steemians, I went to visit Seattle a few days ago and saw something that was pretty amazing. The Chihuly Garden and Glass was something I didn't know about at all and totally blew my mind. I couldn't stop taking pictures of glass art pieces that was so colorful, smooth, bold, and full of emotions. Hope you enjoy them.
Chihuly Garden and Glass is an exhibit in the Seattle Center showcasing the studio glass of Dale Chihuly. The exhibit opened May 21, 2012 at the Seattle Center at the former site of the Fun Forest. The project includes three primary components: the Garden, the Glasshouse, and the Interior Exhibits, with significant secondary spaces including a 90-seat café with additional outdoor dining, a 50-seat multi-use theater and lecture space, retail and lobby spaces, and extensive public site enhancements beyond the Garden.
The installation inside of the Glasshouse is an expansive 100-foot long sculpture and is one of Chihuly’s largest suspended sculptures. The facility was designed with the help of Owen Richards, an architect and was awarded LEED silver certification from the USGBC.
