The border crossing is smooth and quick, and in less than 3 hrs we are in Seattle. With time to tour before watching the Warriors, we stop at the Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum at the Seattle Center.
Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum at the Seattle Center features the blown glass artwork of Dale Chihuly. The installations are exquisite, and the outdoor pieces blend with the spring blooms.
The blown glass exhibits are divided into sections- an indoor glass garden, baskets, ikebana, chandeliers, sea life, macchia, persian, the glass house and the outdoor garden. I attempt to hone in on individual pieces, their relationship to each other and especially to the plants around them.
From there, we walk past the Museum of Pop Culture, formerly the Museum of Roc and Roll.
The last of the photos from this series were taken outside the Museum of Pop Culture. I was intrigued by the curves and colors- designed by architect Frank O. Gehry to convey the energy and fluidity of music. The 3,000 panels are made of 21,000 individually cut stainless steel and aluminum shingles which respond to different light conditions, reminding us that culture is constantly evolving.
