One of the places that we knew we wanted to visit was the Chihuly exhibit. After visiting the Seattle Space Needle, we headed over to Chihuly, since it is next door. It was fun to visit the Space Needle and look down at Chihuly, knowing that we were going there next.
I had never been to a Chihuly exhibit before, even though there are many located around the world, so I was excited to see the art up close. I have heard so many great things about this glass art over the years.
We headed inside and got our tickets at the front desk. There are both indoor and outdoor parts to the museum.
We started indoors, learning about Dave Chihuly and some insights into his work. The different indoor galleries are so interesting, and not only is the art beautiful, but the way it is creatively displayed is amazing.
The lighting and presentation are so well done, from pieces that hang to a ceiling full of glass pieces.
The Glasshouse is impressive, and has a large piece of glass art that stretches throughout it. I had seen pictures of this exhibit before, and it was incredible to see it in person.
We were lucky to have a nice day outdoors to check out the glass gardens. I am fond of plants, and the combination of plants and glass was perfection.
Everything from the color combinations to shapes and textures all came together so well.
We had a wonderful time at Chihuly, checking out the different works of art. What an amazing place to see in person!
We went on a Thursday morning after checking out the Space Needle. Chihuly was busy, but not overly crowded. I would imagine this place does get very crowded on weekends and peak tourist seasons.
I brought my kids, ages 10 and 12. They were interested in the art, but I would say to be selective if you are bringing your kids, especially any who are younger in age.

That seems like a great place to visit the glass structures were so beautiful. I think if I get to Seattle this will be one stop I would make.
I saw this when it was in Kentucky and it truly was amazing. I made so many pictures!

I had no idea but something that I definitely want to visit when I am there next summer.
Amazing! The glass sculptures mixed into the garden setting is an awesome sight to see! I did not know about this place until I read your blog post. Hopefully we can visit someday.

They were at Biltmore last year, but I missed seeing it. I bet they look stunning in person. The photos you got here are awesome.
The Chihuly glassworks are stunning! There was an exhibit of Chihuly’s work at the Royal Ontario Museum in our city.
Wow, those pieces are amazing! I would love to see all those in person. My mother in law would as well. I know she collects pieces like these.
That is absolutely amazing! I would love to visit!
The glass pieces are absolutely amazing. I’d love to visit in person as I am sure the photos don’t do it any justice. Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful pieces of art. It’s not easy to make glass look this beautiful and I definitely appreciate how they worked hard to create this lovely place! Would love to see it in person someday!
I’ve been to Seattle, because my sister has lived there the last 40 years. It is beautiful! I used to think of moving there, but it is way to rainy and at times gloomy. Plus I don’t like to think this way, but we get a long better apart and missing each other! It makes the heart grow stronger ❤️
I never visited this beautiful place. I pinned it so I can talk to my sister about it. Thank you for sharing!
That is such an incredible exhibit! The art is so gorgeous and unique. I would love to visit with my children and grandchildren!
This looks really cool and something that I would love to be able to check out with my husband.
These gardens look like from another world, so beautiful every flower.
I’ve been to a couple other Chihuly exhibits and loved them. Can’t wait to see this one!
This is beautiful We had a Chihuly exhibit in NC not that long ago. Unfortunately, we were unable to make it out but my parents saw it and commented on how incredibly beautiful it was.
We will be going to Seattle soon, I’m putting Chihuly Garden on our list of places to see!
