In WA & today went to see exquisite glass sculptures. The museum/exhibit is at base of Space Needle. DH went up to top...I took a rain check. 😧

FABULOUS! AMAZING! We viewed it two years ago. Never saw anything like it in my life.

@Shanus. Did you buy anything? I love hand-made glass sculpture.

I would love to see it someday... I'm sure it was beautiful!

The yellow/brown one in your photo, @Shanus, reminds me of Frasier. Martin Crane would frequently toss his candy wrappers into Frasier's Chihuly.

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.

@Kachina624. Hi. The smallest sculptures in the gift shop area were $3,000-$4,000! I would have settled for a round blown glass paperweight, but nothing small/in my price range.

@maximillian We had seen his work at another museum while on vacation years ago. Anyone near NC, huge installation of his sculptures in and around Biltmore Gardens and Estate in Asheville NC through October...a definite “must see”.

@ShanusI have friends who have many of his pieces.One piece is massive and hangs from their vaulted ceiling.They donated a small piece once to help raise money for a surgery that a family couldn’t afford and it sold for thousands.Those orig8nals are pricey.I hope you are having a great time and the best birthday!

@dex Your friends are not only fortunate to own those beautiful pieces, but sound also quite loving & generous. I’m having the best birthday ever....Thanks for asking.

Excellent display of his work as a chandelier in the entry of the Bellagio here in Vegas. I saw his pieces at a gallery when we lived in Waikoloa, HI and I could afford a soap dish at most. I’ve always loved Chihuly’s work. Anyone working in glass is a true artist in my book - the opportunity /probability to seriously hurt yourself is very high.
