This pkace was quite small but still beautiful. I had my 2 kids plus a friend and her nephew ages from 9 to 15 and they enjoyed it as well. Art is such a beautiful thing!! We absolutely love everything about museum's. They had a gift shop at the entrance and some displays were very interesting!!

A very nice collection of Chihuly's work. In some ways I expected more, but the works that were there were great. A guide was eager to tell the story behind the works, and there was a nice glass blowing demonstration across the street. A gift shop had works from other gifted local glass blowers for sale.

Dale Chihuly is a legend. Some artists are just elite in their own rights. Chihuly is one of these when it comes to glass art, holy cow. I absolutely love seeing Chihuly art in museums, so there being a whole collection of just his art in St. Pete is fated destiny (double duty, I know). It’s pretty much as awesome as you’d imagine, though it’s definitely a smaller exhibit which is the only disappointing part. You’d really have to drag out the better part of an hour to make it a long visit. But the pieces that are included here are still well worth seeing, and the admission is cheaper than a lot of the museums nearby. Plus, you don’t usually have to reserve a time slot really ahead of time. There’s also another fun addition to admission to the collection: you can go across the street to the Morean Arts Center and watch a free glass glowing demo!! Tom, who was working the collection when we went told us all about it and was so awesome. Watching glass blowers craft their work right in front of your eyes is such a neat and unusual experience. The Chihuly exhibit is a magical, colorful walk of brilliance. It makes for such a fun mini afternoon!

As other people had pointed out, this is a small gallery and there are too few pieces to see. The admission is steep and includes a 30-min glass blowing demo across the street. But I still don't think it's worth the price. If you happen to be in the area and have nothing else better to do, then it's okay to visit, but doesn't worth a special trip. The Chihuly gallery in Seattle is much more elaborate than this one.

Green's Vintage | Sep 3, 2018

If you get there early, there is street parking that is free. My suggestion is, go early, grab a fantastic breakfast across the street, sorry I can't remember the name of the place, enjoy the museum, then take advantage of the free glass demo across the street. It really is worth the time!

We have already been to the museum, but were unable to go to the glassworks because it was being remodeled when we visited. I see the demonstration are hourly, do we purchase tickets before hand and is it timed visitation?

Jackie Fenton | Sep 2, 2021
Monique | Sep 2, 2021

And if you miss the show you can return the following day for it. Or that was their policy as of a few weeks ago.

God bless you! I understand that it does not pass the adult ticket of some $ 19 or $ 20. What happens is that when I went to St. Petersburg I took advantage of an offer called City Pass that costs only $ 120.00 and has the ticket for 5 parks, which includes this well-known Factory of exotic crystals.

It's on permanent display at that location. From the website: "The CHIHULY COLLECTION is a stunning, permanent collection of world-renowned artist Dale Chihuly’s unique artwork.
