This was a cool place to visit although not on the day we went! After paying our admission, we wandered around and realized that the majority of exhibits were closed to the public that day! Ever so annoying! We got to see glass being blown and that was pretty much it. Then we were told we were not allowed to photograph any of the glass exhibits due to copyright law! Uhh, I don;t think I will be going home and replicating any of the art I saw. Not sure my oven would allow that to happen! So after talking to an employee, we were allowed to sit in the theater and watch an animated story of how glass and glass art came to be. It was aimed at elementary school children so that was fun! I am not going to say it was a bust and I really want to go back again when it is not overrun with children. I am just not sure it will be anytime soon! The Dale Chihuly bridge that links downtown to the Museum is awesome and has lots of beautiful pieces of glass to admire and photograph!!!
