I wasn’t reading any blogs yet when you originally wrote this post otherwise I would have contacted you immediately! I love his work so much I did my “thesis” for design school on him. My professor thought it was a little odd that I wanted to do something on blown glass but she was impressed that I thought outside the box. His work is breathtaking and transcends any notions of traditional artwork. Thanks for posting this!

They rotate pieces through their exhibits, and they have a “hot shop”. You can watch artists blowing glass, and I think they even have classes there. The gift shop is too fun, and for absolutely free, there is a walking bridge over the highway that leads to the museum. It is called the Chihuly Bridge of glass and there is a ceiling over it much like the ones in your pictures and then about 40 different vases ensconced along the side. I had never seen such a neat and free public display of art! If you’re ever in the area, you should totally check it out! http://www.museumofglass.org/ and http://www.chihuly.com/bridgeofglass/projectdescription.html
