Encounter Chihuly Garden and Glass: The Shining Pearl of Seattle.

Encounter Chihuly Garden and Glass: The Shining Pearl of Seattle During the journey in Seattle, Chihuly Garden and Glass is like a shining pearl, attracting every soul longing for art. It quietly nestles under the Space Needle, as if it is the perfect place for the artistic dialogue between the earth and the sky. Stepping into Chihuly Garden and Glass is like walking into a fantasy world built of glass. This is the artistic world of glass art master Dale Chihuly, who has created one miracle after another with glass. Chihuly was born in Tacoma, and the breath of that land and his childhood memories are integrated into each work, plus the infinite inspiration given by nature, making his works full of vitality and unique charm. The fact that his works can be collected by more than 200 museums worldwide is undoubtedly a high recognition of his artistic attainments. As an art palace built in 2012 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Seattle Center (the main venue of the 1962 World Expo), it bears the mission of blending history and modern art. The indoor exhibition area is like a dreamy castle of glass. The light passes through the glass artwork, scattering colorful halos, each piece is unique, they are either blooming like flowers, or like lively deep-sea creatures, as if silently telling the whimsical ideas in Chihuly's mind. The outdoor part is like a live show of glass art. I watched a glass-making demonstration at 2:30 in the afternoon. When the glass gradually turned into a cute turtle in the hands of the craftsman, the explanation next to it was like a voice-over, making the whole process interesting. Finally, in the souvenir shop at the exit, those exquisite glass gadgets are like art elves calling tourists. Each souvenir embodies the essence of Chihuly glass art and is a wonderful memory of this art journey. Chihuly Garden and Glass is definitely the most memorable stop on the trip to Seattle.
