Dale Chihuly's work is included in over one hundred eighty museum collections on five continents. In 1995 he embarked on the multi-faceted international project Chihuly over Venice, which involved collaborative glass blowing at factories in Finland, Ireland, and Mexico with the resultant sculptures mounted over the canals and piazze of Venice as part of that city's first glass biennial. This installation was documented by PBS in a 90-minute special. His recent architectural works include sculptures for the Bellagio Resort in Las Vegas, the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. In 1999, Chihuly mounted his most ambitious exhibition to date: Chihuly in the Light of Jerusalem 2000. His team used 10,000 pieces of multicolored, multidimensional glass to erect 15 major installations in and around the ancient fortress of the Tower of David Museum inside the old city walls of Jerusalem. Over one million visitors viewed this exhibition, breaking the world attendance record for an exhibition during 1999-2000. Chihuly culminated the year by designing two sculptures for the White House Millennium Celebration.
