We fell in love with Chihuly's art when we visited the Museum of Glass near Seattle. Now Florida offers you a smaller - but impressive - version of the same breathtaking art in a beautiful facility. More

I visited the Chihuly Collection a couple months after it opened. I was familiar with his finished work, but not the methods. The short film on Chihuly's methods, places and people was very interesting but the glass pieces were AMAZING. More
