Curlicues of colorful glass burst forth from the Lower Level, rising 43 feet through the museum core in one of largest permanent installations by renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. Fireworks of Glass, completed in 2006, comprises more than 3,200 handblown pieces of glass on the tower, with another 1,600 pieces on the “floating” glass ceiling. No matter the angle or what level you’re on, the piece makes for a breathtaking photo backdrop.
