The first time I ever saw Chihuly's work was at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas and I spent quite a bit of time admiring it and photographing it. I was excited about this gallery and it didn't fail to disappoint - amazing pieces that are all quite different from one another. I loved that the pieces were so colorful... More

We so enjoyed our visit to this beautiful museum. We have seen Chilhuly's exhibits in the past, but this museum was the best. We were lucky enough to go to a beautiful reception in the Glass House, with his pieces all around, above, and outside, and the Space Needle like a sentinel above us. A must see. We also enjoyed...

A must see blown glass art. The combination of colors in the glass was vibrant in the dark with a lighted back ground or with sun light. A must see.

Even the pictures I'd seen of some of the exhibits didn't prepare me for how awesome this display actually was. Huge structures of hand sculptured glass reflecting a variety themes in beautiful colours and amazing shapes! It certainly was the highlight of my trip and I would strongly recommend it to anyone visiting Seattle. I have never seen anything like... More

The colors of Chihuly's works are spectacular. I particularly loved the gardens. I could not decide if the glass set off the plantings or the plantings set off the glass. Lovely, lovely, lovely!

What a delightful surprise to discover this absolutely amazing display of hand blown glass sculptures at the base of the Space Needle. Each display was more breath taking than the next! We were fortunate to be in Seattle on a blue sky day and the outdoor sculptures danced in the sunlight - absolutely spectacular! Can't use enough superlatives it!

What a treat for the senses. The museum displays and the gardens are gorgeous, and the short films are informative and delightful. The ticket price was fair -- and the entrance fee included a free photo of you and/or your party visiting the museum.

This exhibit is a must-see for a first timer in Seattle. The glasswork is very beautiful. Definitely check this out when you're in Seattle Center.
