TACOMA.   An awe-inspiring structure near Tacoma's revitalized waterfront showcases cutting-edge, contemporary works of glass and other related media. Drawn in by a soaring 90-foot steel cone that forms the building's core, visitors are treated not only to a lively exhibition schedule but also to the Hot Shop Amphitheater, a working glass studio where the intricate, painstaking process of glassmaking may be observed. A full slate of educational programs introduces the world of glass to people of all ages. Don't miss the Bridge of Glass, the brainchild of renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly that connects the museum to the Washington State History Museum.   (© 10Best)

Disappointing
We traveled from Texas in hopes to see the greatest glass museum in existence only to discover that 2/3 of the place was closed for stocking the new exhibits and the gift shop was closed for inventory????????????? The hot glass shop was ordinary, nothing we had not seen before and we were charged the full admittance price. What a rip!!!! When these activities are scheduled the museum should at least post on the website so that travelers will not waste their time and money!!!!!!!

I think I saw this on a list of the 100 things you must do before you die and they weren't wrong. Sitting in the Hot Shop watching Glass artists create, hearing the roar of the furnaces. It is an amazing adventure for the whole family! I Highly Recommend you go check it out!
