Chihuly Garden and Glass, Glass art exhibition at Seattle Center, United States.
The exhibition complex includes indoor galleries, a glass house structure, and outdoor gardens displaying hundreds of intricate glass sculptures in different colors.
The museum opened in 2012 near the Space Needle, transforming a section of Seattle Center into a permanent showcase of Dale Chihuly's glass art.
The galleries present forty years of glass art development through eight distinct rooms, each demonstrating different techniques and artistic approaches.
The exhibition offers combined tickets with Space Needle access, daily glass-blowing demonstrations, and guided tours that explain the creation process.
The centerpiece glass house features a suspended 100-foot sculpture containing 1,400 individual pieces in red, orange, and yellow tones.

Seattle stretches between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, offering a mix of urban architecture, public spaces and natural areas. This route connects more than thirty stops, from the Space Needle and Pike Place Market to less visited sites like the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks or the Wing Luke Museum. The selection includes museums of contemporary and classical art, historic neighborhoods and waterfront parks. Pike Place Market sits downtown and has operated as a public market since 1907. Chihuly Garden and Glass displays the glasswork of local artist Dale Chihuly. The Museum of Pop Culture, designed by Frank Gehry, covers music, film and video games. Olympic Sculpture Park spans nine acres along the waterfront, combining outdoor sculpture with views across the bay. The Seattle Art Museum holds collections from different continents and periods. The Ballard Locks connect salt water to fresh water and include a fish ladder for migrating salmon. Discovery Park covers 534 acres with trails through forest and meadow, plus beach access. Gas Works Park preserves parts of a former coal gasification plant on Lake Union. The Museum of Flight documents aviation history with more than 175 aircraft and spacecraft. Mount Rainier National Park lies about two hours southeast and features the 14,411-foot (4,392-meter) glaciated volcano.
