The Metropolitan Museum, known throughout the world affectionately as The
Met, is the pinnacle of American museums, the crown of our nation's art
collections. Encrusted with the artistic jewels garnered by our nation's
great industrialists, its innumerable objects of art include the works of
American Glassmaster - Dale Chihuly. His intricate pieces displayed within
the historic halls of the Met are so vivid and awe-inspiring that they tempt
the eye to never gaze elsewhere, as you fall prey to the rhythm and movement
of each.
