The Chihuly campaign switched into high gear this month with street banners popping up across the city, ads appearing in publications of all types, and be-decked cables cars rumbling around town. The end result? We’re delighted to report droves of visitors flocked to see what truly is the cutting edge of glass!

During its opening week, a stunning 32,000 people were wowed by Dale Chihuly’s fantastic creations. That’s almost as many people as attended the museum’s reopening in 2005, and marks a milestone for stand alone attendance numbers.

This blockbuster show, combined with a truly integrated marketing campaign, added to a fabulous location for art lovers, should be the recipe for a successful summer for our favorite museum. We’ll keep you posted on how the campaign plays out.
