See the Amazing Chihuly Collection in St Petersburg Florida

One of the best things about living in St Petersburg Florida is the vibrant art scene.
We have museums and galleries from world class artists.
We have the Museum of Fine arts and the Dali Museum in the bayfront area.

One of my favorite artists is Dale Chihuly.
He is a master of blown glass. And not just bowls and vases like you might expect.
He was trained as an architect so he creates whole sculptures and installations that
are part of the building. They can take up a entire room.
The shapes textures and colors capture the eye and imagination.

He was introduced to the St Pete art scene when the Museum of Fine Arts had a show.
I visited the museum and was awed by the scale and beauty of his works.
After the close of the successful show, The Chihuly Collection was opened.

They have relocated to the Central arts district on Central Avenue.The associated Morean Art Center has a package where you can also watch a live demonstration at the Hot Glass Shop.
