Chihuly Garden and Glass is an exhibit in the Seattle Center directly next to the Space Needle, showcasing the studio glass of Dale Chihuly.[1] It opened in May 2012 at the former site of the defunct Fun Forest amusement park.[2][3]
The project features three primary components: the Garden, the Glasshouse, and the Interior Exhibits, with significant secondary spaces including a bar featuring both all-ages seating and a separate area for guests age 21+, a 50-seat multi-use theater and lecture space, retail and lobby spaces, and extensive public site enhancements beyond the Garden.[4] The 100-foot-long installation inside of the Glasshouse is one of Chihuly's largest suspended sculptures.[5] Designed with the help of architect Owen Richards, the facility was awarded LEED silver certification from the USGBC.[6]
