The exhibit opened May 21, 2012 at the Seattle Center at the former site of the Fun Forest.[1] The project includes three primary components: the Garden, the Glasshouse, and the Interior Exhibits, with significant secondary spaces including a 90-seat café with additional outdoor dining, a 50-seat multi-use theater and lecture space, retail and lobby spaces, and extensive public site enhancements beyond the Garden.[2] The installation inside of the Glasshouse is an expansive 100-foot long sculpture and is one of Chihuly’s largest suspended sculptures.[3] The facility was designed with the help of Owen Richards, an architect and was awarded LEED silver certification from the USGBC.
