This exhibit is an amazing sensory experience. The light makes the glass colors and shapes pop. Around each corner was another marvel. Strongly recommend spending time watching the movie of Chihuly narrating how he works and thinks. It was a surprise to learn that the installations are very much a team effort. Finally, strongly recommend walking across the street to watch the glass blowing demonstration.

My group came across an ad for the Chihuly exhibit on a tourist map and decided to drop by after visiting the Dali museum. We didn’t know much about the exhibit or artist. But we throughly enjoyed the beautiful glass sculptures and the lighting that best set off their beautiful inner glow. I was sad the gift shop didn’t have more glass items available, but we did get a lovely glass rose made by a local artist (ask the cashier for artist name). There was some debate over whether or not an exhibit that was supposed to only take 30 minutes should cost us $20 a person, but personally I enjoyed it enough (and was mentally prepared for expensive museums when I came to Florida) that it didn’t bother me. There is a little film at the end of the exhibit that was actually quite fascinating to watch and I would recommend stopping to watch it!

This museum has beautiful and colorful glass displays. If I wouldn't have visited the Chihuly glass museum in Seattle, I wouldn't have been disappointed at how small this one was. But nonetheless, the artwork was fabulous and worth seeing. The admission price is a little high but it also includes a glassblowing demonstration which was very interesting. Very nice gift shop in the glassblowing building with many beautiful pieces for sale by various artists.
