Located next to the Space Needle, Chihuly Garden and Glass is an extraordinary museum dedicated to the works of glass artist Dale Chihuly. The museum consists of an indoor gallery, a glasshouse, and a lush garden where Chihuly’s vibrant glass sculptures are interwoven with plants and flowers. The centerpiece of the exhibit is the Glasshouse, where a 100-foot-long sculpture stretches across the ceiling, its brilliant colors inspired by the artist’s love for nature. The outdoor garden features more large-scale installations, with glass pieces mimicking natural forms and shapes. Chihuly Garden and Glass is an inspiring and beautiful tribute to the versatility and artistry of glassmaking.
Must-do: Wander through the gardens during the day and return in the evening when the glass sculptures are illuminated against the Seattle skyline.
