Sealife Tower的水世界。 A waterworld in the Sealife Tower.
充滿藝術氛圍的餐廳Collections Café。 The Collections Café.
Born and raised in Tacoma, Wash., the 77-year-old Chihuly was inspired by the secret underwater world of Puget Sound. While growing up, he was also fascinated with his mother’s colourful backyard and miniature pond. The exhibition is divided into rooms, all with a completely different experience. For example, the Mille Fiori is like a jungle of Eden; mysterious plant life and water in the Sealife Room; the Persian Ceiling creates a magical underwater experience; and Ikebana and Float Boat are a joyful fairy tale filled with huge, colourful glass balls, reminiscent of childhood marbles. Chihuly has essentially created intriguing journeys through his imagination, presented like a theatrical stage experience.
FooD SEnSE A stop at the Collections Café in the Chihuly Garden and Glass pavilion is a must. Most of the art in the restaurant are from Chihuly’s collection, including 36 large abstract paintings and a roof covered in accordions. Each table has its own decorated theme of collages.
