Chihuly Walking Tour Audio Project

Ranked Tenth for Best Museum and Cultural Podcasts in 2007 by MuseumPods.com

Tacoma Art Museum has created a downloadable version of its cell-phone walking tour, Ear for Art: Chihuly Glass CellPhone Walking Tour. This version allows you to download the tour to your own personal MP3 player to learn more about Dale Chihuly’s artwork in Tacoma’s Museum District as you stroll through revitalized downtown Tacoma.

The self-guided tour can begin or end at any of the five locations by selecting the audio file on your MP3 player corresponding to the stop number.

A brochure with a map listing tour stops and tour numbers is available at Tacoma Art Museum and at other businesses in downtown Tacoma during business hours. Download the map. (PDF)

The project was funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to promote Tacoma Art Museum’s significant Chihuly holding – the premier collection of Dale Chihuly’s work, (dating 1977- present) on public long-term display.  The Institute of Museum and Library Services is an independent federal agency that grows and sustains a “Nation of Learners,” because lifelong learning is critical to success.
