The first custom-designed building to showcase the works of Dale Chihuly is a wonderland of glass and light. Presented by the Morean Arts Center in St. Pete's, the Museum is a stunning, permanent collection of world-renowned artist Dale Chihuly's unique glass artwork housed in a magnificent 10,000 square foot setting designed by award-winning architect Albert Alfonso. Marked at the entrance by an iconic 20-foot sculpture created especially for the site, the Chihuly Collection includes the artist's spectacular large-scale installations such as Ruby Red Icicle Chandelier created for the collection and also featuring 18 installations spanning several of the artist’s most popular series including the impressive Mille Fiori. In addition to the collection, there is a small theatre that runs a loop of interviews and information about the artist with some of his more well-known installations around the world. Absolutely well worth a visit.
