    First time visitor and I loved it. We bought our tickets on-line and when we arrived, it was almost time for the live glass blowing demonstration which is held right across the street. There is a nice gift shop and then you go to another room for the demonstration. I LOVED it. I was amazed at the amount of work that goes into making one vase. The glass blower was great as was the woman who explained everything. Highly recommend this part of your ticket price. We went back to the museum and viewed the various pieces. They were amazing! I had thought it would be a bit larger, but I thoroughly enjoyed my visit.

    We didn't have time to go into the museum but we stopped into the front of it which has a great little gift shop. And a few pieces that you are allowed to take pictures and look at. The cost to get in is $20 but on Tuesdays you can get in cheaper. I'd like to spend a whole week in St Pete so much to do. Parking is a little bit of a hassle but as long as you pay the meter you're fine.

    When searching for things to do around here. This came up. It looked interesting to me. The glass works are pretty well known around. I had seen it around back home and liked the work. If you like art. I recommend this gallery. The glass works were beautiful. I bought a ticket at the gallery and to my surprise. They were having a glass-bowing demonstration nearby in a few minutes. The employees gave me directions. It was easy to find. The way had signs pointing the way. I found myself in a glass store with a studio next to it. The store had so many glass works. All types of glass figures big and small. Everything here is so colorful and beautiful. The price ranged from high to low. The staff here was very helpful. The glass-blowing studio was hot. The fan was on but it was one hot area. I found it entertaining. I have seen glass blowing before however I actually learned something in this class.

    The collection is located in a convenient location with many shops and restaurants around it. Street parking is also available nearby. This artist is truly worth seeing. I love Chihuly pieces. His chandeliers and Float Boat are really spectacular. The collection seems on the smaller size, so the price may be a little on the higher end at $20. However, I would pay it again. I appreciate the ability to get so up close and personal to the pieces that you are unable to do at many art museums. Your ticket also includes a glass blowing demo at the Morean Art Center across the street. I highly recommend checking it out. They make a piece during the demo and explain the whole process. You definitely don't want to miss it. If you enjoy glass blown art, I highly recommend visiting the Chihuly Collection if you're in St. Pete!

    $20 gets you in to see a medium sized collection of his work. Ask when you get there if a docent will do a tour anytime soon. I got notice of the tour almost as I was leaving, and went back and she did a fabulous job talking of him, the pieces and the process. While they do have an audio tour (access through a QR code), I couldn't get it to launch so that was worthless for me. So glad I went. Also take advantage of the glass blowing exhibition down the street. A great bonus!

    I saw my first exhibition in Arizona and this is my second time but in St. Petersburg,FL. It's amazing.

    This was my 2nd time here, I love the collection. I first visited 5 years ago and thought the museum had more glass pieces by Chihuly. My favorite pieces are the chandeliers. The exhibit includes a 20 minute movie about the artist. Admission includes access to the Morean art center which has glass blowing demos several times a day. They also sell their artists glass works. Free street parking is available infront. Just wish they had more pieces of his works on display.

    The audio tour was great and really helped the experience. I thought the display started out a bit slow, but after a room or two it was way more exciting. There were lots of cool pieces and the staff was friendly. Liked the red chandelier and the colors used throughout the displays.

    What a great exploration of art. You walk at your own pace. You take in each piece in. Take as many pictures as you would like, they encourage it!! There are strategic places where you can sit and enjoy the artwork. "NO TOUCHING" There is a short film you can watch about how this artwork comes to life. And you can join a glass blowing class to observe beauty in transition. There is a special display room of art created by children. It is absolutely out of the box. They take everyday items and they make something new with it. There is also a shopping area at the beginning or the end depending on when you would like to look the proceeds help children in the arts Great experience glass art

    I have been a fan of Dale Chihuly's glass art for decades now and was really happy to find this gallery in St. Pete. The collection is smaller than what I was expecting, but having this location is still a real treat. Unfortunately, I did not make it to the glass studio to catch a demonstration, which is included in the ticket price for the gallery. If you've not had the opportunity to see a documentary about Dale Chihuly, the gallery plays a recording about him at the end of the tour. The collection shows a lot of color and the softness of the objects themselves. I recommend a quick visit here and hopefully, you can either venture across the street to see more art or catch a demonstration at the glass studio on 1st Ave.

    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!

    We had came here a while back and saw the glass blowing but got a raincheck to see the collection. It was a rainy Saturday so we decided to take in some art. Not too busy but there was a crowd. Showed our tickets and went straight in. The exhibits are amazing. So much color. Really enjoyed all of them. Check out the movie on the way out to learn more about Chihuly and how all of this came to be.

    Spectacular. Beautiful pieces from different periods of his career. Great film: don't skip this!! It's a quickie museum tour, walk slowwwly, however QUITE rewarding.

    Ask the Community - Chihuly Collection

    Is this kid/toddler friendly? I know this maybe a slight dumb question since there is glass involved. Lol

    Most pieces are behind glass or in an area they can't be touched. Not a place for kids to run around though. And it probably is not of interest to most kids

    When is free museum day?

I visited the gallery last year while in Orlando and saw a beautiful lion painting (or so I thought). The lion holds deep personal significance for me as my late son's name, Ari, means "lion." Naturally, I was drawn to this piece. The salesperson, Lilli, immediately engaged me, took the artwork into a special dimly lit room, and passionately described the brushstrokes and how they come to life under different lighting. This entire presentation strongly implied that I was looking at an original painting. I didn't purchase it immediately but exchanged numerous emails with the gallery afterward. Twice in my emails, I referred to it as a painting. Not once did they correct me. Instead, they carefully avoided calling it a painting themselves, referring to it only as a "piece." After much deliberation, I purchased it and had it shipped internationally. When it arrived, I was shocked to find that the certificate described it as a limited-edition print, not an original painting. Feeling deceived, I reached out to the gallery, expecting them to take responsibility. Their response? They admitted they saw me calling it a painting in emails but didn't correct me because they "didn't want to offend me." When I requested a refund, they hid behind their 3-day no-refund policy, ignoring the fact that they misled me in the first place. When I pointed out that honesty should be a company policy, the gallery director, Nick, actually said "do truly strive to be honest and upfront with all of our clients". (As if honesty is optional, like a goal you work toward rather than a basic ethical standard.) Let's be real: If you have to "strive" to be honest, you're already admitting dishonesty is part of your business model. The Takeaway: Ocean Blue Galleries engages in misleading sales practices. They deliberately avoid clarifying details to secure sales. They will NOT take accountability once you realize the truth. If you're considering buying from them, triple-check what you're actually getting--because they certainly won't tell you upfront.

When the weather is not a Floridan oven (i.e. July & August), the on-site hot shop is open for public demonstrations where visitors and collectors can witness the birth of some of the world's finest glass creations. Duncan and his artisans' works can be found throughout the gallery or on display in the collections of elite cruise ships, the St. Petersburg/Clearwater airport, and those of other discerning collectors worldwide. No entrance fee, so it's worth a stop to meet Duncan and his wife Irene, and maybe even a visiting artist.
