Dale Chihuly is widely considered the world's premier glass artist. His work is included in more than
125 museums from the Louvre in Paris to the Japan Institute of Arts and Crafts in Tokyo; it can also
be seen in many public installations, and he has had solo exhibitions in more than 60 museums
worldwide.

Chihuly Garden and Glass opened May 21, 2012 at the Seattle Center, Seattle, Washington. The facility
includes three primary components: the Garden, the Glasshouse, and the Interior Exhibits, with
significant secondary spaces including a 90 seat café with additional outdoor dining, a 50 seat
multi-use theater and lecture space, retail and lobby spaces, and extensive public site enhancements
beyond the Garden. The installation inside of the Glasshouse is an expansive 100-foot long sculpture
and is one of Chihuly’s largest suspended sculptures. The facility was designed with the help of Owen
Richards, an architect and was awarded LEED silver certification from the USGBC. It is the
comprehensive exhibition dedicated to showcasing Chihuly's work.
