dc.descriptionThe Chihuly Bridge of Glass, view looking east towards the museum, showing both Crystal Tower installations; The Museum of Glass is a museum dedicated to the medium of glass art located in Tacoma, Washington. The Tacoma area was selected in part because it is the hometown of legendary glass artist Dale Chihuly. The museum, designed by acclaimed Canadian architect Arthur Erickson, opened in July of 2002 and is located near the University of Washington Tacoma in downtown. The museum is linked to downtown Tacoma via the The Bridge of Glass. The bridge consists of thousands of glass-art masterpieces created by Chihuly to make up the Venetian Wall, Seaform Pavilion and Crystal Towers. The museum exhibits a conical building, which houses the glass blowing demonstrations. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 1/20/2008)en_US
