Today we went to the Museum of Glass - a very neat place! We had a Groupon that expired at the end of the month, so off we went to Tacoma! There were a few outdoor exhibits and the Chihuly Bridge of Glass (where these pics came from). Inside, there were exhibits, a mini movie theater that showed a video explaining how they do what they do (this was the kids' favorite thing), a children's art studio where they had a couple art projects, and the hot shop - where a visiting artist was actually in house creating glass art in front of our eyes. We checked back in throughout the day to watch their progress. We got there a little after 10 AM, took a walk to a nearby brewery for lunch at 1:30 (super duper late for the kids but they were so engrossed in everything!) and left around 3 PM.
One of the exhibits was really interesting for the kids - "Kids Design Glass" where children draw anything that they would like the artists to create in glass. They had a room full of the children's drawing and the glass art next to it. There were animals, dinosaurs and many more creatures from the children's imaginations. In the art studio, Evan and Ellena drew their creations and turned it in, in hopes that their image will be turned into glass some day!
