Traveling

Exhibit at the Chiluly Garden & Glass Center in Seattle What a magnificent collection of art glass at this art center! Right next to the space needle is a must see! We were only in Seattle for one day, so we did one of our favorite things...a city tour. A city tour is always a great idea, even if you have several days.  It gives you the highlights of the city, and also a lot of insight and history! Our last stop was the Space Needle and we decided to stop at the Chiluly Exhibit.  Only one word for it    AWESOME! The museum is small and has 2 main exhibits.  Inside is a collection of different types and phases of Dale Chiluly's work.  Outdoors was another exhibit shown in the gardens. For information about seeing one of the exhibitions go to: chiluly.com/exhibitions
