The lobby of the Bellagio has tons of Chihuly flowers and spheres. If you're ever in Tacoma, visit the train station. The main window is filled with giant orange toned flowers, and there's a cobaly blue sculpture that is similar to a gigantic bunch of grapes hanging from the center of the ceiling in the lobby, covering 3 floors. When I visited, you could go up the the second floor and take lots of great pictures of the glass flowers, as well as enjoy the view of the Tacoma Dome off in the distance. The flowers are there to save you from the dull view. There's also a collection of his spheres at the Schipol airport in the Netherlands. He's made a few documentaries (for PBS?) that they might still sell at the San Jose Museum of Art.
