What’s to see when in Seattle?
There’s no need to wheedle,
When tourists flock to the very top
of the steeple called Space Needle.
But in the shadows down below,
there stands a garden made of glass–
where colors reign and forms arrange
to entertain en masse.
Sophisticated patterns blown
from molten globs of flexible fire
Illuminating worlds unknown
to ponder and admire.
Details reveal a melting pot,
a tints and hues collision
explodes to form a twisted star,
and match Chihuly’s vision.
It is amazing!

Absolutely but till I do, the next best thing is check out the installations online. You are indeed very fortunate to have had that experience.

It’s a beautiful installation which we saw when we were visiting Seattle. It’s now coming to North Carolina where we’ll visit again. He’s quite a master.
