The Tower

kids viewing ceilingThe Fireworks of Glass ceiling floats just under the tower. It is filled with 1,600 pieces of glass from Chihuly’s spectacular series, including Sea Tubes, Hornballs, Persians, and Putti in a variety of shapes and colors.

On the Museum’s Lower Level, children and families can look up and see the brilliantly colored glass forms in the ceiling.

Here children and adults can sit on a large, round, revolving platform, gaze at the ceiling overhead and discuss what they see.

Families can also create their own sculptures with colorful plastic-like shapes call polyvitro and blow glass virtually or explore the hot shop and the glassblowing process on two computer screens.
