That luminous, kalaidascope of colors is the Seaform Pavillion: A ceiling of thousands of blooming glass pieces by the world famous artist, Dale Chihuly. Along with two other massive glass displays (also by Chihuly), it makes up the Bridge of Glass in Downtown Tacoma, Washington. Oh yes, I said bridge - This isn't your typical museum piece! Upon visiting Tacoma's Museum of Glass, you can take the bridge on foot to discover its paragon of magic.
Across the way from the Museum of Glass lies Tacoma's Union Station, and the immaculate treasure it encases. Another masterpiece by Chihuly, the chandelier of Union Station is made up entirely of glass, and is nearly two stories tall!
Can't make it to Tacoma? You can also see Chihuly's work on the ceiling of the Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
Let Chihuly's work inspire your own artistic projects at home. Imagine a painting, wreath, or centerpiece that emulates the chandelier at Union Station, or handmade jewelry inspired by the Seaform Pavillion. Or, score your own piece of art glass by visiting the Museum of Glass online store. (Click here!)
Imagine one of these unique wine stoppers making an appearance at your latest soiree...
