The Chihuly Collection is a museum featuring the stunning and beautiful glass art of Dale Chihuly. The artworks are large, impressive, and awe-inspiring, set up with perfect lighting. Visitors gain a clearer appreciation and understanding of the artist's amazing and popular work, including how delicate blown glass integrates into aquatic settings. The building itself is big and beautifully open, though some note the museum is kinda small. The experience includes a movie room where guests learn about the artist's story and worldwide installations. Knowledgeable and engaging docents are available for questions. With admission, there is an option for a live glass-blowing demonstration in a separate building across the street, which is great and informative. The museum also has a nice gift shop where smaller things can be purchased. Parking is available as paid parking on the street and in lots, but visitors are advised not to use the private parking lot as vehicles may be towed. The collection is considered a must-see, definitely worth the price of admission and time, providing a great experience and a five-star visit.
