Chihuly Collection

While in Saint Petersburg, we visited the Chihuly Collection.


A red chandelier was alone and beautifully lit in a small room.  The chandelier stood out, and the shadows were terrific.  The Bushnell Hall in Hartford also has a big, bright red chandelier like this one.


The glass ceiling of a corridor was full of colorful glass.  The ceiling was similar to the one at the Baker Museum in Naples.


I tried to remember how many places I have seen Chihuly glass.   I can remember Hartford and New Britain in Connecticut, Naples, Columbus and Chihuly's studios in Tacoma.  There are probably more.


A display case had a colorful and varied collection of glass.


Dale Chihuly communicates his ideas for glass objects to his team in large, fluid paintings.
The blue chandelier was the perfect companion.
