We have seen many Chihuly in the Garden exhibits and a couple of indoor works at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas - but the centerpiece of the Chihuly Glass Museum in Seattle was like watching a firework display where everything has fired at once!
It was hard to know where to look first in this huge arrangement of glass in all colours and shapes.
Elsewhere in the exhibition were individual pieces, such as these in the 'Sea-Life' room..
I loved the colour and pattern in this glass..
Other individual pieces were quite subdued..
This glass ceiling was anything but subdued though..
There were some very large individual pieces - this one must have been 9 feet tall..
There were also some very large indoor chandeliers..
All in all, a spectacular collection and fantastic to see video clips of the glass shapes being created and the process of designing pieces for famous spaces in Venice and Jerusalem.
Some of the first few are quite overwhelming. The glass ceiling is an interesting idea. Have you commissioned a chandelier for your house? Should be interesting getting it back to the UK.
